Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Creating a Calculated Insight to overwrite duplicate keys
Why it's wrong here
Calculated Insights compute metrics; they do not resolve identities or overwrite source records.
- ✓
Mapping to standard Cloud Information Model (CIM) Data Model Objects and running Identity Resolution
Why this is correct
Mapping to standard CIM DMOs standardizes the schema, and Identity Resolution unifies the overlapping profiles.
- ✗
Master Data Streams
Why it's wrong here
Master data streams are not a primary mechanism for unifying multi-org customer records in this context.
- ✗
Enabling streaming ingestion on both CRM connectors
Why it's wrong here
Streaming ingestion changes the delivery speed, not the harmonization or identity matching logic.
