Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Create calculated insights based on unified individual fields.
Why it's wrong here
Calculated insights can only be built after unified profiles are established.
- ✗
Configure a Segment activation target for Marketing Cloud.
Why it's wrong here
Activation targets are unrelated to the prerequisites of configuring identity resolution rulesets.
- ✗
Export unified profiles to a cloud storage connector.
Why it's wrong here
Exporting is a downstream activity, not a prerequisite for ruleset creation.
- ✓
Ingest source data and map source objects to the Individual Data Model Object (DMO) and related DMOs.
Why this is correct
Mapping to the Individual DMO is a strict prerequisite because Identity Resolution rulesets operate on the Individual DMO and its related entities.
