Question

Options

• AExited, Realized, Exited,
• BRealized, Exited, Exited
• CRealized, Exited, Realized
• DExited, Realized, Realized

• A
  8% (4)
• B
  73% (38)
• C
  4% (2)
• D
  15% (8)

Explanation

Option B (Realized, Exited, Exited) is correct because the profile meets all three segment criteria at T1 - email is not null, city is Chicago, and state is Illinois - so it enters with a Realized status. At T2, the city changes to Oakbrook, violating the "City = Chicago" condition, so the profile Exits the segment. At T3, although the email address changes, the city is still Oakbrook, meaning the profile continues to fail the segment criteria - it remains Exited, not re-entered.

Why the distractors fail:

• A (Exited, Realized, Exited) is wrong because T1 should be Realized, not Exited - the profile clearly meets all criteria at first evaluation.
• C (Realized, Exited, Realized) is the most tempting trap: changing the email at T3 does not fix the broken city condition, so the profile cannot re-enter.
• D (Exited, Realized, Realized) reverses T1 and T2 logic entirely and incorrectly keeps the profile in the segment after T3.

Memory tip: Think of segment status like a bouncer checking all ID criteria - once you fail any rule (T2: wrong city), you're out. Changing a different attribute (T3: email) while still failing the original rule doesn't get you back in.
