    B Big data focuses only on structured data. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Big data often requires distributed processing frameworks Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Big data analysis is always faster than traditional data analysis. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E Big data eliminates the need for cleaning and preprocessing. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The correct answer is C because big data involves massive datasets that exceed the capacity of traditional systems. Distributed processing frameworks like Hadoop and Spark are essential to manage and process such data efficiently.

    • Option A : Big data typically requires significantly larger storage.
    • Option B : Big data includes structured, unstructured, and semi-structured formats.
    • Option D : Big data analysis can be slower due to the scale and complexity of data.
    • Option E : Cleaning and preprocessing are critical steps in big data analysis to ensure reliability.
