Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Prompt instructions that tell the agent how to respond
Topics group related conversations, actions perform data operations, and prompt instructions guide the agent's behavior. Intents are for Einstein Bots, not Agent Builder. Flows are used within actions, but the action itself is required.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Prompt instructions that tell the agent how to respond
Why this is correct
Prompt instructions define the agent's tone, format, and behavior.
- ✗
Intents and entities for natural language understanding
Why it's wrong here
Agent Builder uses prompts and topics, not intents/entities (those are for Einstein Bots).
- ✓
An action that queries the Order__c object
Why this is correct
Actions perform the actual data retrieval or update.
- ✓
A topic named 'Order Status'
Why this is correct
Topics define the subject area the agent can handle.
- ✗
A Flow to route the conversation to a human agent
Why it's wrong here
Handoff is not required for this scenario; the agent should answer directly.
