Design a single data pipeline activity capable of processing all data formats without any preprocessing, to minimize costs and complexity.

Develop separate data pipelines for each data format and manually merge the results, ensuring compliance with HIPAA through manual checks.

Implement a data pipeline with multiple activities, each tailored to process a specific data format, and include validation steps to ensure HIPAA compliance and data integrity.

Utilize a dataflow to preprocess and standardize the data into a common format before pipeline processing, reducing the need for multiple pipeline activities and ensuring HIPAA compliance through built-in features.
