Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
The source bucket path and file format specifications (e.g., CSV, delimiter).
Why this is correct
Specifying the bucket path and file format tells Data Cloud where and how to read the files.

Why it's wrong here
Google Cloud does not run Apex triggers.
- ✗
A pre-built Marketing Cloud journey canvas.
Why it's wrong here
Journeys are irrelevant to cloud storage ingestion.

Why this is correct
Secure authentication is required to access Google Cloud Storage buckets.
