Microsoft Azure Data Fundamentals — Question 259

Which Azure Data Factory component initiates the execution of a pipeline?

Answer options

• A. a control flow
• B. a trigger
• C. a parameter
• D. an activity

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as a trigger in Azure Data Factory is specifically designed to initiate pipeline executions at scheduled times or in response to certain events. The other options, such as a control flow, parameter, and activity, are essential parts of data processing but do not directly start the execution of a pipeline.
