Which tool would be best for filtering a dataset to include only specific records based on criteria?

The Filter Tool is specifically designed to handle the task of filtering a dataset based on defined criteria. It allows users to set conditions, effectively controlling which records to include in the output. By using expressions or logical conditions, you can selectively retain only those records that meet the specified criteria. This makes the Filter Tool optimal for ensuring that only relevant data is passed on for further analysis or processing.

Other tools in the list serve different purposes. For example, the Union Tool is utilized for combining multiple datasets into one, while the Sample Tool is meant for extracting a subset of records from a dataset randomly or based on certain sampling methods. The Sort Tool organizes data in a specified order (ascending or descending) but does not filter records based on any conditions. Each of these tools plays a distinct role in data manipulation, but when it comes to filtering based on specific criteria, the Filter Tool is the most suitable choice.
