Storage indexes provide for better performance in a manner most similar to which of the following features?

Storage indexes in Exadata provide performance optimization most similarly to partitioning. Both features work by eliminating unnecessary data access: storage indexes track min/max values in storage regions to skip entire regions during queries, while partitioning allows the optimizer to skip entire partitions. Materialized views pre-compute results, Hybrid Columnar Compression reduces storage, and parallelism distributes work across processes.
