Salesforce Certified Marketing Cloud Administrator — Question 18

Northern Trail Outfitters requires all subscriber files placed on the SFTP for import to be encrypted.
Which activity in Automation Studio could be used to decrypt the file to prepare for importing?

Answer options

• A. File Transfer Activity
• B. Decryption Activity
• C. Data Extract Activity

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The File Transfer Activity can be used to handle encrypted files by managing their transfer and decryption during the process. The Decryption Activity is not a valid option in this context because it does not exist as a specific activity in Automation Studio. The Data Extract Activity is focused on extracting data, not decryption, making it unsuitable for this task.
