But why would some email subscribers be inactive? That’s weird!

I heard synchronized contacts only count after sending, so that could be it too.

I feel like mobile subscribers should still count as contacts, so C doesn’t seem right to me.

I practiced a similar question, and I think only active email subscribers are counted, so B could be the answer.

I’m not sure, but I think synchronized contacts might only count after a send, which could relate to A.

I think it was about defining roles and responsibilities that leads to better control, so I might lean towards option B, but I'm not sure.

I think single-line comments typically use "//", but I'm not entirely sure if that's the only way across different languages.

Okay, let me see... If the seller is in a low tax bracket, they'd want to minimize their taxes, so increasing the interest rate and lowering the price could work.

Synchronized contacts are only counted after sending? That's a pretty specific rule. I'm going with D as the answer.

C is an interesting choice, but I don't think mobile subscribers are excluded from the total contact count. The key is that there are overlapping contacts across the different channels.

Haha, what if the marketing admin just forgot to carry the 1 when calculating the total? That would explain the discrepancy!

I think B is the right answer. Only active email subscribers are counted, so the total contact count would be less than the sum of all the data sources.

That's a good point. It could be a combination of both B and D affecting the total contact count.

The correct answer is D. There are overlapping contacts in each of the channel. This makes sense, as the total contact count would be less than the sum of all the data sources if there are contacts that belong to multiple channels.
