The Party Identification object is the correct object to use in identity resolution to perform exact match rules on the Loyalty ID. The Party Identification object is a child object of the Individual object that stores different types of identifiers for an individual, such as email, phone, loyalty ID, social media handle, etc. Each identifier has a type, a value, and a source. The consultant can use the Party Identification object to create a match rule that compares the Loyalty ID type and value across different sources and links the corresponding individuals.

The other options are not correct objects to use in identity resolution to perform exact match rules on the Loyalty ID. The Loyalty Identification object does not exist in Data Cloud. The Individual object is the parent object that represents a unified profile of an individual, but it does not store the Loyalty ID directly. The Contact Identification object is a child object of the Contact object that stores identifiers for a contact, such as email, phone, etc., but it does not store the Loyalty ID.

The consolidation rate is the amount by which source profiles are combined to produce unified profiles, calculated as 1 - (number of unified individuals / number of source individuals). For example, if you ingest 100 source records and create 80 unified profiles, your consolidation rate is 20%. To increase the consolidation rate, you need to increase the number of matches between source profiles, which can be done by adding more match rules. Match rules define the criteria for matching source profiles based on their attributes. By increasing the number of match rules, you can increase the chances of finding matches between source profiles and thus increase the consolidation rate. On the other hand, changing reconciliation rules, including additional attributes, or reducing the number of match rules can decrease the consolidation rate, as they can either reduce the number of matches or increase the number of unified profiles. References: Identity Resolution Calculated Insight: Consolidation Rates for Unified Profiles, Identity Resolution Ruleset Processing Results, Configure Identity Resolution Rulesets

CloudPage is a web page that can be personalized and hosted by Marketing Cloud. It is not one of the standard engagement channels that Data Cloud supports out of the box. To use CloudPage data in Data Cloud, a custom integration is required. The other engagement channels (SMS, email, and mobile push) are supported by Data Cloud and can be integrated using the Marketing Cloud Connector or the Marketing Cloud API. References: Data Cloud Overview, Marketing Cloud Connector, Marketing Cloud API

In Salesforce Data Cloud, activation membership refers to the individuals or records that qualify for a specific segment and are eligible to be activated (e.g., sent to external systems like Marketing Cloud). Here’s the breakdown:

Data Segmentation Object (Option C):

Segments in Data Cloud are stored as Data Segmentation Objects, which include metadata about the segment (e.g., logic, filters) and its membership (the records/individuals that meet the criteria).

When configuring an activation target, you select the segment (and its membership) stored in the Data Segmentation Object to send to downstream systems.

Salesforce’s official documentation confirms that segments and their memberships are managed through the Data Segmentation Object (Source: Salesforce Data Cloud Implementation Guide, "Segmentation and Activation").

Why Other Options Are Incorrect:

Data Model Object (A): Represents the structured data model (e.g., standard or custom objects like Individual or Account) but does not store segment membership.

Data Activation Object (B): A distractor; no such standard object exists in Data Cloud. Activation is a process that uses the Data Segmentation Object.

Data Lake Object (D): Stores raw, unprocessed data ingested into Data Cloud and is not directly used for activation.

Conclusion: For activation membership, the consultant must select the Data Segmentation Object to reference the segment’s qualified members.
