Which Cloud Pak for Data service is used to cleanse and shape tabular data?

Data Refinery is a self-service data preparation client within IBM Cloud Pak for Data designed for data scientists, data engineers, and business analysts. It provides a graphical interface and a rich set of operations to discover, cleanse, and transform raw, tabular data into a consumable, high-quality format ready for analysis or machine learning model training. Users can build interactive data preparation flows that can be scheduled and run on large data sets.

A. Data Manager: This is a generic term. While Cloud Pak for Data has data management capabilities, "Data Manager" is not the specific service name for interactive data cleansing and shaping.

B. Watson Data: "Watson Data" is a broad branding concept for IBM's data and AI portfolio, not a specific, invokable service within Cloud Pak for Data for data preparation.

D. Data Wrangler: This is a functional description of the task (data wrangling). While Data Refinery performs data wrangling, "Data Wrangler" is not the official name of the IBM service.
