Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Add a WHERE clause to the Identity Resolution UI restricting records by company code.
Why it's wrong here
Identity resolution rulesets use match rules and reconciliation rules rather than SQL WHERE clauses in the UI.
- ✓
Assign the ruleset to a specific Data Space during creation.
Why this is correct
Identity resolution rulesets are created and executed within the context of a Data Space, keeping match/merge operations isolated.
- ✗
Create separate Salesforce Orgs for each business unit.
Why it's wrong here
Data Spaces exist precisely to avoid needing separate orgs for logical partitioning.
- ✗
Configure a sharing rule in Salesforce CRM that propagates to Data Cloud.
Why it's wrong here
CRM sharing rules do not govern Data Cloud identity resolution scoping.
