Correct Answer: D The table is still managed by Spark SQL in terms of metadata, but the data files are stored in the specified path due to the database’s location setting. Given the inherited location from the database, if the CREATE TABLE statement had explicitly used USING EXTERNAL or specified a LOCATION, it would definitely be an external table. However, since it inherits the database's location without these specifications, it creates a managed table.
