Answer: storesDF.withColumn(“customerSatisfactionAbs”, abs(col(“customerSatisfaction”)))
The correct answer is A. The `withColumn` method is used to add a new column by specifying the column name as a string and a Column expression. Option A correctly applies the `abs` function to the existing column `customerSatisfaction`. Options B uses `withColumnRenamed`, which renames an existing column but does not compute a new one. Option C has incorrect syntax for `withColumn`. Option D omits quotes around the column name in `col(customerSatisfaction)`, causing an error. Option E passes a string directly to `abs` instead of a Column object.
