Explanation

Data profiling is the process of examining a dataset to understand its structure, completeness, content, and quality. After an ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) job produces incomplete results, data profiling helps you investigate by checking record counts, identifying missing fields, and comparing source data to destination data. Cross-validation is a machine learning technique, data integrity ensures data is accurate and consistent over its lifecycle, and data consistency checks whether data matches across systems. Data profiling is the correct investigative tool for diagnosing incomplete ETL output.
