D
Correct Answer
A data warehouse stores structured, processed data optimized for analysis, while a data lake stores raw data in its native format, including structured, semi-structured, and unstructured data
Explanation
Data warehouses store cleaned, structured data modeled for specific reporting and analysis needs (schema-on-write), whereas data lakes retain raw data in its original format from many sources, with structure applied later when the data is used (schema-on-read).
