Answer is C. I only don't agree with the Hierarchy solution that is given in the answer. Data categorization is something else: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/transform-model/desktop-data-categorization

Change the data category from "Text" to "Country", "State", "City" will work. See Source:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rvlv80WmTgc

I'm not sure what's exactly the difference between A and C, would not both options have the same result. I will vote for C as rest of people here assuming some of them have tested it and this is better than A

Just checked in PowerQuery Editor there is no "Country" data type, so I guess that means option A is not the same :-)

C is the correct answer. Setting the data category for these fields will allow Power BI to recognize them as location-related fields, enabling proper mapping and drilling down capabilities.

the answer is correct but the explanation is wrong. has nothing to do with hierarchy. has everything to do with data categorization for geographical fields

Don't we need to change data type from "Text" if we want to creat a map? It's really strange.

for me also. I think first we should change data type and then create a hierarchy because of Drill down part

No, the data type will continue to be text. You might be confusing it for the data category
