Identity resolution rulesets require match rules, reconciliation rules, and target objects (Unified Individual/Contact).

Answer analysis

Option-by-option breakdown

For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.

  • Reconciliation Rules (e.g., precedence rules for selecting attribute values for unified profiles)

    Why this is correct

    Reconciliation rules define which source attribute values populate the unified profile (e.g., most recent, most frequent).

  • Apex trigger validation scripts for custom match scoring

    Why it's wrong here

    Data Cloud does not support Apex triggers in Identity Resolution.

  • Target Unified Data Model Objects (e.g., Unified Individual)

    Why this is correct

    Identity resolution rulesets map matched records into unified data model objects like Unified Individual.

  • Core Salesforce duplicate management rules from CRM Setup

    Why it's wrong here

    CRM duplicate rules are distinct from Data Cloud Identity Resolution rulesets.

  • Match Rules (e.g., matching on email, phone, or name)

    Why this is correct

    Match rules determine how individual records are evaluated and linked together.
