How should this data be stored for optimal performance?

A. In Apache ORC partitioned by date and sorted by source IP
B. In compressed .csv partitioned by date and sorted by source IP
C. In Apache Parquet partitioned by source IP and sorted by date

D. In compressed nested JSON partitioned by source IP and sorted by date
