I feel like option D might be a compromise, but I'm not sure if it's the best approach. We definitely need to ensure that the keys are managed properly across both channels.

I'm a bit confused about whether using a third-party system is necessary. I feel like Marketing Cloud should be able to handle duplicates on its own.

I think we practiced a question similar to this, and I recall that controlling the Contact Key values is crucial to avoid duplicates. Option C sounds right to me.

I remember we discussed the importance of having a consistent identifier for cross-channel marketing, but I'm not sure if it's better to use auto-generated keys or control them ourselves.

Okay, I think I've got it. We need to strategically control the Contact Key values and use that to link the records across channels. Option C seems like the way to go.

I heard Marketing Cloud has a 'Duplicate-o-matic' feature - you just toss all your contacts in and it spits out a single, coherent record. Easy peasy!

Option E: Use a magic 8-ball to generate unique identifiers. It'll be just as reliable as those other options!
