A company has configured Marketing Cloud Connect and wants to enable its Sales Cloud users to send single, templated Marketing Cloud emails to individual Leads or Contacts directly from the CRM interface. Which features must be configured to support this? (Select TWO)

Case Study:

Zenith Bank is undergoing a digital transformation and has chosen Salesforce Marketing Cloud for its retail banking division. A consultant has been brought in to lead the discovery and design phase. The bank has several business requirements and existing technical constraints that must be considered.

Business Requirements:

1. Welcome Series: New customers opening an account should receive a 5-step email welcome series over 14 days.
2. Monthly Newsletter: A monthly newsletter must be sent to all active customers who have not opted out.
3. Credit Card Offers: Targeted credit card offers should be sent to pre-qualified customers. The eligibility data is determined by a nightly batch process in the bank's core banking system.
4. Data Security: All customer data files transferred to Marketing Cloud must be encrypted. The bank's security policy requires PGP encryption.

Technical Landscape:

• The core banking system is the system of record for all customer and account data. It generates a full customer file and a separate credit card eligibility file nightly and places them on a secure server.
• The bank has a strict IP whitelisting policy for any inbound or outbound connections.
• The marketing team is small and has limited technical expertise; they are most comfortable with drag-and-drop interfaces.

Given this scenario, what is the most critical piece of information the consultant must obtain from the bank's IT department before finalizing the solution design?

A user is building a journey and wants to test multiple paths to see which one results in higher engagement. For example, Path A sends an SMS, while Path B sends a Push Notification.

A B2C retail company is launching a new loyalty program. The program has three tiers: Silver, Gold, and Platinum.

The loyalty status is a single record per customer, while orders are a one-to-many relationship. Where should this data model be constructed in Marketing Cloud?

What is the correct way to link these data extensions in an attribute group?
