Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Define clear primary and foreign key relationships with appropriate cardinality.
Why this is correct
Proper relationships are essential for accurate segmentation and querying.
- ✗
Ingest raw CSV files directly into custom DMOs without creating DSOs.
Why it's wrong here
Batch data streams always ingest into DSOs first, never directly into DMOs.
- ✗
Ensure every custom DMO has at least 50 primary key fields.
Why it's wrong here
DMOs have a single composite or singular primary key.
- ✓
Check if a standard CIM DMO already exists before creating a custom DMO.
Why this is correct
Always leverage standard CIM DMOs when possible to ensure pre-built bundle and feature compatibility.
- ✗
Prefix all custom DMO names with 'Apex_' to ensure system compatibility.
Why it's wrong here
Custom objects use standard publisher prefixes (e.g., '__c'), not 'Apex_'.
