Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Verify that the Salesforce service account has correct IAM read permissions on the Google Cloud storage bucket.
Why this is correct
Permission denials are caused by incorrect IAM roles or bucket access policies preventing Data Cloud from reading the files.
- ✗
Check that the Google Cloud storage bucket has public internet access enabled for all IP addresses.
Why it's wrong here
Making buckets public is a security violation; secure authentication via IAM is required.
- ✗
Rewrite all filenames to remove uppercase letters.
Why it's wrong here
Filename casing does not cause permission denied errors.
- ✗
Switch the ingestion format from CSV to XML.
Why it's wrong here
XML is not a supported batch format.
