Explanation
The DQS Cleansing activity is the only DQS activity that produces profiling statistics about the source data being processed. During cleansing, DQS evaluates each field against the knowledge base and surfaces metrics including completeness (how many values are populated), accuracy (how closely values match the knowledge base), consistency, and validity. These statistics directly satisfy the requirement for reporting on data accuracy. Knowledge Discovery (C) is used to build and enrich the knowledge base itself, not to profile source data. Matching (B) and Matching Policy (D) focus on identifying and configuring rules for duplicate detection, and do not generate accuracy profiling statistics on the input dataset.
