Answer: C

Explanation:

The discrepancy between the count of workbooks in the Connected Workbooks tab and the lineage count in Tableau Catalog can occur because of user permissions. In Tableau Data Management, the visibility of

connected workbooks is subject to the permissions set by administrators. If a user does not have permission to view certain workbooks, they will not see them listed in the Connected Workbooks tab, even though these workbooks are part of the data source’s lineage and are counted in Tableau Catalog.
