A Correct answer
Explanation

Distributed metadata management allows each ETL and reporting tool to maintain its own metadata repository, with some coordination. This is recommended for enterprises with multiple tools from different vendors. Centralized metadata is ideal but difficult with heterogeneous tools; federated implies a central coordinating hub.
