Which of the following data repositories should a company use when structured data about the whole company needs to be stored in a predefined data structure?

A data mart is a subset of a data warehouse, typically focused on a specific department or business function, not the whole company.

A data warehouse is specifically designed to store large volumes of structured, historical data from various operational systems across an entire organization. It uses a predefined schema (e.g., star or snowflake schema) to integrate and organize data, making it suitable for enterprise-wide analysis and reporting.

A data silo is an isolated collection of data within a department, not an integrated repository for the entire company.

A data lake stores raw, unprocessed data, including unstructured and semi-structured data, and does not require a predefined data structure at the time of ingestion, unlike a data warehouse.
