How would they set up the Import Activity to know the name of the file?

D. Check the ‘Use filename from Automation’ checkbox

Answer: B

Explanation:

The file naming pattern is a setting in the import activity that specifies how to identify the file to import. If the file name changes every time, but has a consistent prefix, the %%BASEFILENAME_FROM_TRIGGER%% variable can be used to match the file name based on the prefix. For example, if the file naming pattern is set to thankyou_customers_%%BASEFILENAME_FROM_TRIGGER%%.csv, it will match any file that starts with thankyou_customers_ and ends with .csv.
