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. W

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.
