Should be C

To meet the corporate’s requirement of sending a nightly file with all contest registrants from Marketing Cloud to an external SFTP, the most suitable automation configuration is Option C:

i vote for C....

Answers B & D are totally wrong. Between A&C it cant be A because we need to generate an outcome file. If you run SQL activity, it will just put all records to the target DE. So the answer is C

Option C (Schedule Starting Source Data Extract Activity File Transfer Activity) aligns with the steps needed to schedule the automation and perform the data extract and file transfer. This configuration ensures that the nightly file with all contest registrants is sent daily to the external SFTP, meeting the corporate's requirements. Option A (Schedule Starting Source SQL Query Activity File Transfer Activity) and Option D (File Drop Starting Source Data Extract Activity File Transfer Activity) involve unnecessary components for the specified task. Option B (File Drop Starting Source SQL Query Activity File Transfer Activity) is not the ideal configuration for achieving the nightly file transfer requirement.
