C_ARSUM Ariba Supplier Management Practice Question
A template designer at Tailspin Toys is building a supplier qualification questionnaire where respondents must select their primary manufacturing country from a fixed list, and the selection must drive which follow-on compliance questions appear. Which question configuration best supports this requirement?
⚠ Common exam trap
The trap here is expecting free-text validation to behave like a controlled list, when only a structured Choice value can reliably drive conditional question visibility.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
A Choice question whose selected value controls the visibility of dependent questions.
Driving dependent questions from a fixed selection requires a structured question whose value can act as a condition. A Choice question with a controlled value list supplies both the fixed country options and the value that conditional logic reads to show the appropriate compliance questions. Text, numeric, and attachment approaches lack the structured, list-bound value needed for reliable branching.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
A Choice question whose selected value controls the visibility of dependent questions.
Why this is correct
A Choice question with a controlled value list gives respondents a fixed set of countries, and the selected value can drive conditional visibility of related questions. This produces the branching behavior the designer wants, ensuring that only the compliance questions relevant to the chosen country are presented.
- ✗
A Numeric question that captures a country code and a separate internal approval task.
Why it's wrong here
A Numeric question limits input to numbers, which is a poor fit for country selection and cannot present a fixed list or branch content by itself. Adding an internal approval task adds manual handling but still does not cause the correct compliance questions to appear based on the country chosen.
- ✗
An Attachment question where the supplier uploads a document listing the country.
Why it's wrong here
An Attachment question collects a file but provides no structured value that the system can use to determine which follow-on questions to show. Reviewers would have to read the document and manually decide, so this option does not deliver the automated, selection-driven branching the designer requires.
- ✗
A Text question with a regular expression that validates the country name.
Why it's wrong here
A Text question with a regular expression can constrain the format of typed input, but it cannot guarantee a fixed list of countries and cannot reliably drive conditional visibility of other questions. Respondents could enter variants that pass the pattern yet do not map cleanly to a country branch, breaking the follow-on logic.
