A continuous date field produces a green pill and generates an axis, making B and C correct. Tableau uses color as an immediate visual cue for discrete versus continuous fields. Green pills represent continuous fields, whereas blue pills represent discrete fields. A date can function in either form. When the analyst chooses a continuous date value such as continuous Month or continuous Year, Tableau represents the field as an unbroken temporal range rather than a finite collection of date-part headers. When this continuous date is placed on the Rows shelf, Tableau generates a continuous axis corresponding to the selected temporal granularity. The axis behaves similarly to other continuous quantitative axes in the sense that values occupy positions along an uninterrupted scale. Option A instead characterizes a discrete date part, such as discrete Month, where Tableau creates categorical headers or labels like January, February, and March. Option D is likewise associated with discrete fields because discrete pills are blue. Tableau's official Continuous Dates documentation states that continuous dates create an axis and that converting a date field to continuous causes the field to turn green. Tableau's general field-role documentation separately confirms that continuous fields create axes while discrete fields create headers.
