You are developing a SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) package. You need to design a package to change a variable value during package execution by using the least amount of development effort…

The correct answer is A. Express on task. The Expression task in SSIS allows you to set variable values at runtime using expressions, making it the lowest-effort approach to changing variable values during execution.

Why each option

The Expression task in SSIS allows you to set variable values at runtime using expressions, making it the lowest-effort approach to changing variable values during execution.

AExpress on taskCorrect

The Expression task (Execute Expression task) is specifically designed to evaluate a SSIS expression and assign the result to a variable during package execution, requiring no custom scripting or complex configuration - just defining the expression directly in the task editor.

BData Cleansing transformation

Data Cleansing transformation is not a standard SSIS component name; it does not exist as a built-in task for modifying variable values.

CFuzzy Lookup transformation

Fuzzy Lookup is a data flow transformation used to match rows with approximate values in a reference table and is not used for setting variable values.

DTerm Lookup transformation

Term Lookup is a data flow transformation that identifies terms in text data against a reference table and has no capability to assign values to package variables.

EData Profiling task

Data Profiling task analyzes data quality statistics and writes results to a file; it does not modify or assign values to variables during execution.
