Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Scheduled Segment
Why this is correct
Scheduled segments refresh membership automatically based on a set frequency like daily or hourly.
- ✗
Ad-hoc Segment
Why it's wrong here
Ad-hoc is not a standard segment type in Data Cloud for scheduled recurring evaluation.
- ✗
Streaming Segment
Why it's wrong here
Streaming segments evaluate criteria in near real-time as data flows in, not on a recurring schedule.
- ✗
Static Segment
Why it's wrong here
Static segments do not refresh automatically; they represent a one-time point-in-time export.
