Maybe E, but also thinking about D. You definitely need to tell the pipeline where to put the output data, so specifying a target database location seems necessary. Without that, the pipeline wouldn't know where to write results. A and B feel optional for tuning, and C sounds more like staging data rather than final output. So E for logic makes sense, but D might be just as crucial for the pipeline to function properly.

It’s E because you can’t build a pipeline without specifying the notebook with your logic.

Makes sense to pick E because without notebook libraries there’s no logic driving the pipeline. Also, A and B sound more like optional settings that can be changed later, not mandatory at creation time. C and D are important but I think default paths or databases could be used initially, so they’re not strictly required from the get-go. So yeah, E fits best here since it’s the core piece needed to actually run something in the pipeline.

Probably E, since the pipeline needs code to run at all.

E, since without notebook code the pipeline can’t actually do anything.

Option E feels right since you need actual logic to run, which comes from a notebook library. The others seem more like optional configs or defaults that can be set later.

Maybe E because you definitely need some code to run, and that’s usually in a notebook library. The other options seem more like optional settings or defaults.

I think the answer is E. You need at least one notebook library with your pipeline code to define the transformations. The other options seem more like optional settings or outputs. Anyone else agree?
