Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Manual execution of SQL Server stored procedures on the source database.
Why it's wrong here
Data Cloud mapping is handled entirely within the Salesforce UI, not via source database stored procedures.

Why it's wrong here
Apex triggers are not used during data stream mapping; transformation formulas are used instead.
- ✓
Target Data Model Object (DMO) selection
Why this is correct
Consultants must select the appropriate target DMO (e.g., Individual, Contact Point Email).
- ✓
Data type compatibility and transformation formulas
Why this is correct
Ensuring data types match and applying formulas for data cleaning is a core part of mapping.
- ✓
Primary key and foreign key relationship mapping
Why this is correct
Mapping primary and foreign keys correctly establishes relationships between data objects.
