Wait, is this a trick question? I thought the SCD Type 2 Loader was for managing changes in dimension tables, not generating the keys themselves. Hmm, let me think about this again.

I'm pretty sure it's not B or D, since the key values are generated, not copied. I think A is a bit too broad, so I'm going with C.

I'm leaning towards C as well. It seems like the most logical option for how surrogate and retained key values are generated.

Yeah, I think you're right. It wouldn't make sense for the key values to be copied from dimension tables into source tables.

I'm not sure, but I think it might be C) generated by the SCD Type 2 Loader transformation, as it deals with slowly changing dimensions.

Option C is the correct answer. The SCD Type 2 Loader transformation generates the surrogate and retained key values in the dimension tables.

I agree with Justine. The SCD Type 2 Loader is responsible for handling the slowly changing dimensions, including the surrogate and retained keys.
