Which statement describes OneLake's role within Fabric?

• A. A relational data warehouse
• B. A unified data lake built on Azure Data Lake technology and supports shortcuts for external data sources
• C. A management console for user permissions
• D. A streaming service for real-time data

Answer: (B)

OneLake acts as the single unified data lake foundation in Fabric, built on Azure Data Lake technology, providing a central place to store and organize data for all Fabric workloads. It also supports shortcuts to external data sources, giving a federated view of data across services without copying it. This setup lets you reference external datasets within Fabric seamlessly and manage data consistently across analytics experiences. It isn’t a relational data warehouse, a permissions management console, or a streaming service, which are different capabilities handled by other parts of the platform.
