Full Explanation
Cognos Analytics connects to watsonx.data as a relational data source via JDBC or the SQL interface; it submits SQL queries to the Presto engine which returns results that Cognos uses to populate reports and dashboards. The incorrect options ("Cognos directly reads Parquet files from object storage without query engine involvement", "Cognos requires data to be loaded into IBM Db2 before it can produce reports", "Cognos accesses watsonx.data only through Apache Kafka topics") are distractors that don't fully capture the concept described.
