What is a key structural difference between a list and a data extension in Marketing Cloud?

A list has a flexible schema, while a data extension has a fixed schema.

A data extension is used for sending, while a list is used for segmentation only.

A list can be used in SQL queries, while a data extension cannot.

A data extension can store additional attributes, while a list only stores subscriber key and email address.

A small business wants to send a one-time announcement to all customers who have opted in. They have a simple list of email addresses and do not need segmentation or tracking beyond basic send statistics. What should they use?

A data extension with fields for email address and opt-in status.

A list with email addresses and a standard opt-in field.

A list with custom fields for tracking.

A data extension with a SQL query for segmentation.

A marketing team is importing a CSV file into a data extension. The file contains duplicate email addresses. They want to ensure that only one record per email address is stored, and they want to keep the most recent record. What should they configure in the Import Activity?

Set the import to 'Add' and use email address as the primary key.

Set the import to 'Update' and use email address as the primary key.

Set the import to 'Overwrite' and use email address as the primary key.

Pre-process the file to remove duplicates, keeping the most recent, then import with 'Add' mode.
