Question 94 - Certified Data Cloud Consultant discussion

The correct answer is C, the desired attributes reside on different related paths. When creating an activation in Data Cloud, you can select related attributes from data model objects that are linked to the segment entity. However, not all related attributes are available for every activation. The availability of related attributes depends on the container path, which is the sequence of data model objects that connects the segment entity to the related entity. For example, if you segment on the Unified Individual entity, you can select related attributes from the Order Product entity, but only if the container path is Unified Individual > Order > Order Product. If the container path is Unified Individual > Order Line Item > Order Product, then the related attributes from Order Product are not available for activation. This is because Data Cloud only supports one-to-many relationships for related attributes, and Order Line Item is a many-to-many junction object between Order and Order Product. Therefore, you need to ensure that the desired attributes reside on the same related path as the segment entity, and that the path does not include any many-to-many junction objects. The other options are incorrect because they do not explain why the related attributes are not available. The segment entity can be any data model object, not just profile data. The attributes are not restricted by being used in another activation. Activations can include one-to-many attributes, not just one-to-one attributes.
