Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Disable Identity Resolution to reduce the number of linked profile attributes.
Why it's wrong here
Disabling Identity Resolution degrades data quality and is not a valid solution for API payload limits.
- ✗
Increase the Data Cloud heap size limit in the org-wide governor settings.
Why it's wrong here
Heap size limits are Apex governor limits in Core CRM and cannot be adjusted for Data Cloud activations.
- ✗
Convert the activation into a streaming Data Action target.
Why it's wrong here
Streaming data actions are designed for single-event triggers, not bulk audience segment exports.
- ✓
Adjust the batch size or chunking configuration settings on the activation target to reduce payload volume per request.
Why this is correct
Configuring smaller batch sizes or chunking ensures payloads stay within external API limits.
