I'd go with A and E. Those table-level constraints can really impact the performance of your distribution, so they're crucial to consider.

Haha, I can't believe they didn't include 'table size' as an option. That's gotta be the most important factor, right? How else will I know where to stash my 'Big Data'?

C is definitely a key factor. The distribution key should be based on the distinct values in the column to ensure even distribution of data.
