The answer is STAR SCHEMA . As, the data stored in
diamensional tables of the star schema is denormalized
hence it increases the space needed for storage of data.

Star flake schema will take more space than snow flake
schema.
Snow flake schema approach increases the number of joins
and results poor performance in data retrieval. In few
organizations, they try to normalize the dimension tables
to save space.

In Star schema the dimensions can have attributes that may have low cardinality which when separated out in other table will decrease the storage space.

Snow flake schema
why because a denormalized dimentional table splitted into
one or more tables which results in normalization of
dimentions.It hempers the Query performance due to more
number of joins.
