Answer: C

Explanation:

When reading data from shortcuts in Fabric (in this case, from a lakehouse like Lakehouse1), the cache for shortcuts helps by storing the data locally for quick access. The last accessed timestamp and the cache expiration rules determine whether data is fetched from the cache or from the source (Google Cloud Storage, in this case).

Products: The ProductFile.parquet was last accessed 12 hours ago. Since the cache has data available for up to 12 hours, it is likely that this data will be retrieved from the cache, as it hasn’t been too long since it was last accessed.

Stores: The StoreFile.json was last accessed 4 hours ago, which is within the cache retention period.

Therefore, this data will also be retrieved from the cache.

Trips: The TripsFile.csv was last accessed 48 hours ago. Given that it’s outside the typical caching window (assuming the cache has a maximum retention period of around 24 hours), it would not be retrieved from the cache. Instead, it will likely require a fresh read from the source.
