Selected Answer: E
E is incorrect because each executor can have multiple slots depending on the allocated CPU cores. Example: If an executor has 4 cores and Spark allows 1 slot per core, that executor has 4 slots. In contrast, there can be fewer slots than the number of executors if fewer cores are allocated per executor.
