Answer

Suggested Answer

The suggested answer is B.

Microsoft SQL Server Analysis Services, a time dimension is a dimension type whose attributes represent time periods, such as years, semesters, quarters, months, and days. The periods in a time dimension provide time-based levels of granularity for analysis and reporting. The attributes are organized in hierarchies, and the granularity of the time dimension is determined largely by the business and reporting requirements for historical data
