Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Write an Apex trigger in Google Cloud Storage to flatten the folder structure.
Why it's wrong here
Google Cloud Storage does not run Apex triggers.
- ✓
Update the file path and prefix settings in the Data Stream configuration to include wildcard or subfolder patterns.
Why this is correct
Adjusting the file path and naming pattern ensures the connector correctly scans subfolders or specific file prefixes.
- ✗
Recreate the Google Cloud Storage bucket as an Amazon S3 bucket.
Why it's wrong here
Switching cloud providers is unnecessary when path settings can be adjusted.

Move all files to the root directory of the Google Cloud Storage bucket and restart the Salesforce CRM connector.
Why it's wrong here
Google Cloud Storage uses cloud storage connector settings, not the CRM connector.
