You work on an OLTP database that has no memory-optimized file group defined. You have a table names tblTransaction that is persisted on disk and contains the information described in the following table:

Users report that the following query takes a long time to complete.

You need to create an index that:

-improves the query performance

-does not impact the existing index

-minimizes storage size of the table (inclusive of index pages).

What should you do?
A . Create aclustered index on the table.
B . Create a nonclustered index on the table.
C . Create a nonclustered filtered index on the table.
D . Create a clustered columnstore index on the table.
E . Create a nonclustered columnstore index on the table.
F . Create a hashindex on the table.

Answer: C

Explanation:

A filtered index is an optimized nonclustered index, especially suited to cover queries that select from a well-defined subset of data. It uses a filter predicate to index a portion of rows in the table. A well-designed filtered index can improve query performance, reduce index maintenance costs, and reduce index storage costs compared with full-table indexes.
