As a Microsoft Fabric Analytics Engineer Associate, you are tasked with analyzing a dataset of energy consumption patterns in a smart city to support urban planning and energy management. The dataset includes variables such as time of consumption, location, and weather conditions. You need to identify trends, seasonal patterns, and anomalies to recommend actionable insights. Considering the need for scalability, cost-effectiveness, and compliance with data privacy regulations, which of the following approaches would be the BEST to start your exploratory analytics? Choose one option.
A
Calculate the correlation between energy consumption and weather conditions, and visualize the results using a scatter plot to identify direct relationships.
B
Perform a time series analysis to identify seasonal patterns in energy consumption and visualize the results using a line chart to understand temporal trends.
C
Use clustering algorithms to segment neighborhoods based on their energy consumption profiles and identify potential areas for energy efficiency improvements.
D
Apply anomaly detection techniques to identify unusual energy consumption patterns that may indicate equipment malfunctions or fraud, using statistical methods.
