Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.

Edit the data stream configuration to select and add the newly created fields.
Why this is correct
Data streams must be updated manually or via schema refresh actions to include newly added source fields.
