   • AThe contacts are being synced from a different source that has outdated emails.
   • BThe marketing platform is not updating the email field when it receives the data.
   • CThe integration is using a full refresh that overwrites the email field with old data.
   • DThe integration is not capturing email updates because it only syncs contacts where the email is not null, not where the email has changed.
