Which statement about Data Cloud platform functionality is true?

• A. Data from Salesforce, legacy systems, web and app data, and data lakes can be brought into Data Cloud.
• B. Data is only ingested in batches.
• C. Data can be activated only in Marketing Cloud Engagement.
• D. Data storage has a maximum threshold.

Answer: (A)

Data Cloud is designed to bring together data from a wide range of sources into one unified platform, so you can build a complete and actionable view of your data. It supports loading data from Salesforce, legacy systems, web and app data, and data lakes, enabling you to combine internal and external sources for richer insights and activation.

Ingestion isn’t limited to batches; it can handle real-time or streaming data from various sources, depending on the integration. Activation isn’t limited to a single product; you can activate data to multiple destinations, including Marketing Cloud Engagement as well as other clouds and external targets. Storage isn’t tied to a fixed maximum threshold; the platform scales to accommodate growing data volumes as needed.

So the statement about bringing data from Salesforce, legacy systems, web and app data, and data lakes into Data Cloud best reflects how the platform works.
