Correct answer & explanation

Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Map the phone number to the Contact Point Phone DMO and relate it to the Individual DMO via foreign key.
Why this is correct
Contact points are modeled as separate DMOs related to the Individual DMO.
- ✗
Write a Calculated Insight to extract phone numbers into a separate table.
Why it's wrong here
Calculated insights are for metrics, not foundational data modeling of contact points.
- ✗
Map the phone number directly as a custom field on the Individual DMO root object.
Why it's wrong here
Standard contact points have dedicated DMOs for proper normalization and multi-value handling.
- ✗
Concatenate all phone numbers into a single text string on the Contact object before ingestion.
Why it's wrong here
Concatenating values destroys phone-based matching rules.
