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.
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.
Data Cleansing transformation is not a standard SSIS component name; it does not exist as a built-in task for modifying variable values.
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.
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.
Data Profiling task analyzes data quality statistics and writes results to a file; it does not modify or assign values to variables during execution.
