The correct answer to the question “Which of the following the step is performed by data scientist after acquiring the data” is option (a). Data Cleansing. Data Cleansing is the next step after Data Acquisition, which is performed by Data Scientists. Because to make the data ready for further process to gain insights, you need to cleanse it to segregate it and make it ready for analysis, this process could also be called Data Scrubbing, or Data Cleaning.
