Answers
Suggested answer: C, D

Explanation:

{ FIXED [Category] : SUM([Profit])} - It calculates the profit of each category. In our view, all the profits values are the same, so it is not the right answer.

{ FIXED [Region] : SUM([Profit])} - It calculates the profit of each region.

{SUM([Profit])} is equivalent to {FIXED : SUM([Profit])}. It is the table level scope, which means this is the profit of the entire dataset.
