Get Cloudy Consulting wants to group its contacts by Region for reporting.

When grouping contacts by a specific category like Region for reporting, the recommended data type is a Picklist. Picklists ensure data consistency by restricting input to predefined values, making it easier to categorize and analyze data in reports.

A. Multi-select picklist: While this allows multiple values for a single record, it complicates reporting and grouping.

C. Text: A text field lacks standardized input, increasing the risk of inconsistent data and reporting challenges.
