Which of the following code blocks returns a DataFrame sorted alphabetically based on column division?

Question

Options

• AstoresDF.sort("division")
• BstoresDF.orderBy(desc("division"))
• CstoresDF.orderBy(col("division").desc())
• DstoresDF.orderBy("division", ascending - true)
• EstoresDF.sort(desc("division"))

• B
  7% (1)
• D
  93% (13)

Explanation

Alphabetical sorting means ascending order. Option D - storesDF.orderBy('division', ascending=True) (note: the dash in ascending - true in the question text is a formatting artifact for =) - explicitly sorts ascending by 'division'. Options B and C use desc(), which sorts descending (reverse alphabetical). Options E also uses desc(). Option A - storesDF.sort('division') - does sort ascending by default and would technically work, but option D is preferred as it explicitly declares the sort direction with ascending=True, making the intent unambiguous and matching the canonical orderBy method.
