• CTo personalize email campaigns
• DTo enable Adobe Sensei machine learning

  74% (37)
• C

• D
  4% (2)

Explanation

In Adobe Target Recommendations, a criteria is the core configuration that specifies which recommendation algorithm to use (e.g., "People Who Viewed This Also Viewed," "Top Sellers," or "Recently Viewed Items"), directly controlling how items are selected and ranked for each visitor.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A is wrong because testing parameters (like traffic splits and goals) belong to activities, not criteria.
• C is wrong because Adobe Target Recommendations is a web/app personalization tool, not an email marketing platform - email campaigns fall under tools like Adobe Campaign.
• D is wrong because Adobe Sensei powers the underlying engine, but enabling it isn't the purpose of a criteria; criteria is what tells Sensei which algorithm to apply.

Memory tip: Think of a criteria as a recipe card - it doesn't cook the food (that's Sensei/the engine), it just tells the kitchen which dish to make (the algorithm). You pick the recipe (criteria), the engine executes it.
