Explanation

Option C is correct because the All Fields option in the sidebar is specifically designed to display every available field, including those flagged as non-interesting fields - fields that the system considers less relevant or useful, such as internal metadata fields that are typically hidden from standard views.

Why the distractors are wrong:

  • A (Dashboards): Dashboards are separate visualization objects, not fields - they belong to a different part of the interface entirely.
  • B (Metadata only): All Fields is not limited to metadata; it encompasses the full field list, making "metadata only" too narrow.
  • D (Field descriptions): Field descriptions are documentation/annotations about fields, not field entries themselves - the sidebar displays field names and types, not their descriptive text.

Memory tip: Think of "All Fields" as the "no filter" view - it removes the interesting/uninteresting distinction and shows everything, including the fields that would otherwise be hidden because they're deemed non-interesting. If a field is normally filtered out, All Fields brings it back.
