B.
An accelerated data model can be edited from the Pivot tool.
C.
The data model must be de-accelerated before edits can be made to its structure.
D.
It cannot be edited. A new data model would need to be created.
Answer:
C
Explanation:
An existing accelerated data model can be edited, but the data model must be de-accelerated before any structural edits can be made (Option C). This is because the acceleration process involves pre-computing and storing data, and changes to the data model's structure could invalidate or conflict with the pre-computed data. Once the data model is de-accelerated and edits are completed, it can be re-accelerated to optimize performance.
