A data engineer is responsible for managing a single-task job that executes each morning prior to the start of their workday.

What method can the data engineer employ to configure this new task effectively?
Explanation:
To ensure the new notebook runs before the original task, the new task needs to be scheduled before the original task in the dependency chain. By creating a new task in the existing Job and then adding the original task as a dependency of the new task, the new task will run first. Option B is incorrect because it implies the new task runs after the original task. Option A and D are not the correct approach since they don't directly address the dependency requirement.
