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
✓
Identity resolution rulesets operate within the boundaries of a single data space and process data contained within that specific space.
Identity resolution rulesets and unified profiles are scoped within a single data space and cannot span across multiple data spaces natively without sharing mechanisms.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Data spaces replace the need for identity resolution rulesets by automatically merging records on ingestion.
Why it's wrong here
Data spaces provide logical partitioning, not automatic identity resolution.
- ✗
Configuring identity resolution requires super-user access to the core Salesforce CRM multitenant database.
Why it's wrong here
Identity resolution is configured entirely within Data Cloud setup UI with standard admin/consultant permissions.
- ✓
Identity resolution rulesets operate within the boundaries of a single data space and process data contained within that specific space.
Why this is correct
Data spaces partition data in Data Cloud, meaning identity resolution rulesets are scoped per data space.
- ✗
A single identity resolution ruleset can automatically merge profiles across multiple disparate data spaces simultaneously.
Why it's wrong here
Rulesets cannot cross data space boundaries directly.
