Which Activation Target enables publishing to external storage such as Amazon S3?

• A. From Data Cloud to Amazon S3
• B. Directly from Data Cloud to Marketing Cloud Business Units
• C. So Salesforce Core apps can query
• D. From Data Cloud to Google Cloud Storage

Answer: (A)

Activation targets are the destinations where activated data from Data Cloud goes. For publishing to external storage like Amazon S3, you need the path that explicitly points to Amazon S3 as the destination. That makes it the correct choice because it directly defines an external object store as the publication target. The other options don’t fit this goal: publishing to Marketing Cloud Business Units stays within Salesforce, which isn’t external storage; enabling Salesforce Core apps to query describes access rather than where data is published; and publishing to Google Cloud Storage points to a different external destination, not Amazon S3.
