B/C? Gold tables are usually cleaned and aggregated, so raw or just cleaned data (like C) doesn’t feel right. But B talks about aggregating uncleaned data, which seems off too since "uncleaned" implies no prior cleaning. That leaves D as the final polished layer, but since the question asks about *source*, a job aggregating uncleaned data would more likely use Silver tables, not Gold. So maybe C fits better as a source for further refinement before Gold? Still a bit fuzzy without clearer definitions.

Maybe D fits best since Gold tables usually store cleaned, aggregated data for dashboards, but is there any info on how these tables are defined here?
