The correct answer is C because the task requires creating or replacing a managed table with an explicitly defined schema. In Databricks SQL, column definitions are placed directly after the table name inside parentheses. The USING clause is for specifying a data source format, not for defining columns. Option C correctly uses CREATE OR REPLACE TABLE database_name.table_name (...), which recreates the table if it already exists and creates an empty table with the specified schema.
Official documentation extract used: Databricks CREATE TABLE syntax supports [CREATE OR] REPLACE followed by the table name and a table_specification containing column identifiers and column types.
