Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation

Looker Studio

The other options are not suitable: Looker (B) is a separate business intelligence platform without built-in Workspace connectors; BigQuery (C) requires data to be exported from Workspace before querying; Dataflow (D) is a data processing pipeline tool, not a direct analysis tool.
