Selected Answer: A
A seems to be the correct answer because of the table structure and the UNNEST operator. However, i don’t understand why wouldn’t we chose a materialized view

Selected Answer: A
Option A - The regular reporting doesn't justify a materialized view, since the frequency of access is not so high; a simple view would do the trick. Moreover, the vcpu data is in a nested field and requires Unnest.
