Answer: A

Explanation:

The following query returns the transaction log size on each distribution. If one of the log files is reaching 160 GB, you should consider scaling up your instance or limiting your transaction size.

— Transaction log size

SELECT

instance_name as distribution_db,

cntr_value*1.0/1048576 as log_file_size_used_GB, pdw_node_id

FROM sys.dm_pdw_nodes_os_performance_counters

WHERE

instance_name like ‘Distribution_%’

AND counter_name = ‘Log File(s) Used Size (KB)’
