Explanation
To review a task's execution history in Databricks, you can use the Jobs UI to inspect the run history and logs for specific tasks, or use the Databricks REST API to programmatically retrieve execution details. These methods allow you to identify and debug issues effectively. Other tabs, like 'Clusters' or 'Workspace', are not designed for task execution history and do not provide relevant information.

This is incorrect. The 'Clusters' tab is used to manage and monitor Databricks clusters but does not provide task-specific execution history.
- C. Correct.
This is correct. The Databricks Jobs UI allows you to view the logs and details for specific task runs, which is essential for debugging.
- D. Correct.
This is correct. The Databricks REST API can be used to programmatically access the execution history and logs for tasks, providing flexibility for automation or advanced debugging.
- E. Incorrect.
This is incorrect. The 'Workspace' tab is meant for managing notebooks, files, and other workspace assets, and does not provide task execution history.
