Explanation:
An external table is advantageous when the data needs to be stored in a location that the user controls directly, such as for compliance reasons or to integrate with existing data infrastructure. This choice enhances data governance by allowing the user to manage data files directly and improves accessibility by ensuring data is stored in a known, accessible location.
