  - Correct answer : A — Column-level lineage for the new table's columns is missing, because Unity Catalog cannot capture column lineage when a source is referenced by path rather than by table name. A . This is correct because column-level lineage cannot be captured when a source is referenced by file path rather than by table name, which is a documented limitation distinct from table-level tracking. B . This is incorrect because Unity Catalog does not silently resolve arbitrary storage paths back to registered tables for lineage purposes; the path reference itself breaks column tracing. C . This is incorrect because the limitation applies specifically to column-level detail; table-level lineage can still be recorded even when a source is referenced by storage path. D . This is incorrect because the path-based limitation is not restricted by data type; no column, numeric or otherwise, gets column-level lineage when the source is a storage path.
