  • B

Reveal correct answer

Correct answer: D

Explanation

From the official documentation:


When you have a view with a large amount of data you might want to explore your data interactively and highlight a specific mark or group of marks while still maintaining the context of where those marks show in your view.

To do this you can turn on the Highlighter for one or more discrete fields that are included in your view and that affect the level of detail


Example - Here we just want to focus on Public Affairs college dimension, but don't want to filter out or remove the rest of the data:



Note that filtering is not the correct option since that would REMOVE the data that doesn't match the filtering criteria.
