   A data model 'Security_Events' has a root object 'All_Events' with a constraint `event_type=security`. A child object 'Malware_Detections' has a constraint `action=blocked`. A user creates a pivot using 'Malware_Detections' and wants to see counts by 'malware_name'. The pivot returns data, but the user notices that some events with `action=blocked` are missing. What is the most likely reason?

   • AThe 'malware_name' field is not defined in the data model.
   • BThe pivot is limited to the first 1000 events.
   • CThe data model has a time-based constraint that excludes older events.
   • DThe missing events do not have `event_type=security`.

   A data model 'Web_Analytics' has a parent object 'Page_Views' and a child object 'Conversions'. The 'Conversions' object inherits all fields from 'Page_Views' and adds a 'conversion_value' field. A user wants to create a pivot that shows the total conversion value by 'page_url'. The 'conversion_value' field is defined as a number. However, the pivot shows 'N/A' for the total. What is the most likely cause?

   • AThe 'Conversions' object does not inherit 'page_url' from its parent.
   • BThe 'conversion_value' field contains null or non-numeric values.
   • CThe pivot requires a time-based constraint to calculate sums.
   • DThe 'page_url' field is not defined in the 'Conversions' object.
