Correct Answer:
A. a table that has an IDENTITY property
Explanation

Scenario: Implement a surrogate key to account for changes to the retail store addresses. A surrogate key on a table is a column with a unique identifier for each row. The key is not generated from the table data. Data modelers like to create surrogate keys on their tables when they design data warehouse models. You can use the IDENTITY property to achieve this goal simply and effectively without affecting load performance.
