The answer is Canculated Field. It's not only for Numeric Type. You can use the Concat(string field1, string field2,....) for the Single line of text type Check here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/dynamicscrm-2016/administering-dynamics-365/dn832103(v=crm.8)?redirectedfrom=MSDN

considering the data is also updated through background integration, would the calculated field work with this data (do calculated fields only work through form interaction)?

The form-scope rule will not work, as the question state backend integration. The form will not be loaded.

You can achieve this for a new text field define as calculated. If the question say that you need to make this happen for an existing field, you cannot change a simple field to calculate.

Calculated fields are only for numeric types. Background wf is obviously not and I don't think that a Microsoft exam will allow a JavaScript answer so I think it's the business rule.

Workflows can be used on existing fields, definitely NOT a background one for this case. Although javascript could do the job also, the answer should be Calculated Field.

Should not be a Real Time workflow instead of a Background workflow ? Since the new field value has to be immediately available.
