Explanation

In Databricks Jobs UI, the Runs tab shows the history and currently active runs of a Job. By clicking on the active run, the tech lead can drill into run details, including per-task status, logs, Spark UI links, and performance metrics for each notebook task. This allows them to investigate why a specific notebook is running slowly. The Tasks tab (options B/E) shows task configuration, not live run diagnostics. Option A suggests reviewing the notebook immediately from the Runs tab without clicking into the run, which does not provide detailed performance information.
