Why each option
A relational database stores structured, transactional data organized into tables with defined relationships, making it electronically queryable and manageable.
Storing large amounts of raw data in its original format describes a data lake or object storage system, not a relational database.
Relational databases are purpose-built for storing structured transactional data - such as inventory records, orders, and product details - in rows and columns within related tables. This data can be queried, updated, and accessed electronically using SQL, making it ideal for operational workloads like inventory management. The relational model enforces data integrity through defined schemas and relationships between tables.
Rapidly analyzing large and multi-dimensional datasets describes an OLAP system or data warehouse, which is optimized for analytics rather than transactional record-keeping.
Analyzing unstructured data across multiple regions describes a NoSQL or distributed document store, not a relational database, which requires structured schema.
