Explanation:

Column profile and column distribution expose value frequency, distinct and unique counts, errors, empty values, and statistics for the selected field. Those diagnostics answer a data-quality question without changing the source values. Use the selections preserved in the answer exhibit as the supported configuration. What determines the answer is the need to interpret the Column statistics and Value distribution shown for Column1. A transformation that replaces, removes, or filters values would change the data before the analyst has quantified the problem; profiling is the diagnostic step. This rationale is anchored to the PL-300 objective
" Evaluate data, including data statistics and column properties " .
