Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Create Cloud Bigtable instance → Create table inside the instance → Add column families to the table
Why this is correct
This is correct because an instance must exist before a table can be created within it, and column families must be added to a table after it is created.
- ✗
Create table → Create Cloud Bigtable instance → Add column families to the table
Why it's wrong here
This is incorrect because a table cannot be created without an existing instance.
- ✗
Create Cloud Bigtable instance → Add column families → Create table inside the instance
Why it's wrong here
This is incorrect because column families must be added to an existing table, not before the table is created.
- ✗
Add column families → Create Cloud Bigtable instance → Create table inside the instance
Why it's wrong here
This is incorrect because column families require a table to exist, and the table requires an instance.
