In Salesforce Data Cloud, when segmenting individuals based on transaction history data, there may be multiple paths to the same data through different objects in the data model. If the wrong container path is selected:
The segment may pull in too many or too few individuals because different container paths may define relationships differently.
Some records may be unintentionally excluded or duplicated, affecting segmentation accuracy.
Identity resolution and relationships between objects might not behave as expected.
Why Not A? Data Cloud does not suggest alternate container paths automatically. The user must choose the correct path.
Why Not C? Data Cloud does not automatically select the optimal path; it relies on the user’s selection.
Why Not D? The segment will still be generated but may have inaccurate results.
