Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Convert all currency values into text strings before ingestion to avoid parsing errors.
Why it's wrong here
Converting currencies to text prevents numerical calculations and insights.
- ✓
Map both the currency amount field and the associated currency ISO code field to the target DMO attributes.
Why this is correct
Proper multi-currency mapping requires both the numeric amount and the ISO currency code attributes.
- ✗
Use an Apex formula to hardcode exchange rates during the data stream creation step.
Why it's wrong here
Apex is not supported in data stream creation.
- ✗
Map only the numerical amount field; Data Cloud automatically defaults to USD.
Why it's wrong here
Defaulting to USD without checking ISO codes can cause currency inaccuracies in multi-currency orgs.
