Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
A single GCS bucket for all data
Why it's wrong here
This is not a Dataplex architecture.
- ✗
Multiple Lakes, one per project, and manage them independently
Why it's wrong here
This leads to silos and poor governance.
- ✓
One Lake, with assets added from multiple projects
Why this is correct
Dataplex Lakes can aggregate assets across projects.
- ✗
One Lake per project, then use a project-linking tool
Why it's wrong here
This defeats the purpose of centralized governance.
