Which Google Cloud feature should an ML Engineer use to leverage Apache Spark in a Jupyter notebook — for distributed feature engineering on huge tabular datasets — referenced in PMLE §2.2?

ASingle-node pandas on a laptop
BCloud DNS
CNotebooks on Dataproc (Spark kernels in JupyterLab) or BigQuery DataFrames + Spark
DCloud Memorystore
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. Notebooks on Dataproc (Spark kernels in JupyterLab) or BigQuery DataFrames + Spark
Dataproc-backed notebooks expose Spark kernels (per PMLE §2.2). Single-node pandas doesn't scale; the others aren't Spark.
