Which of the following must be specified when creating a new Delta Live Tables pipeline?
The correct answer is C. A path to cloud storage location for the written data. When creating a Delta Live Tables pipeline in Databricks, a cloud storage location for the pipeline's output data is a required field. This path tells DLT where to write the managed tables, checkpoints, and event logs it produces. Without a storage location, the pipeline has…

Explanation
When creating a Delta Live Tables pipeline in Databricks, a cloud storage location for the pipeline's output data is a required field. This path tells DLT where to write the managed tables, checkpoints, and event logs it produces. Without a storage location, the pipeline has nowhere to persist its results. A target database (option D) is optional - it controls whether tables are published to the metastore, but the pipeline can still write data to storage without one. Key-value configurations and DBU cost preferences are optional. While a notebook library containing pipeline definitions is practically necessary to define any logic, the storage path is the explicitly required infrastructure field during pipeline creation.
