Why each option

Cloud Kicks requires its reports to reflect a fiscal year that starts on February 1st and maintains a standard 12-month duration.

AA Set the Fiscal Year to Custom and the starting month as February.

Setting the Fiscal Year to 'Custom' is used for non-standard fiscal periods (e.g., 13 periods, varying quarter lengths), which does not align with the requirement for a 12-month duration.

BSet the Fiscal Year to Custom and the duration to 4 quarters.

Choosing 'Custom' fiscal year indicates a non-standard structure, and while 4 quarters is standard, this option incorrectly implies a non-standard fiscal setup for a simple start month change.

CSet the Fiscal Year to Standard and the duration to 12 months.

While setting the Fiscal Year to 'Standard' and duration to 12 months is correct in principle, this option is incomplete as it doesn't specify how to change the *starting month* of the fiscal year, which is a key part of the requirement.

DSet the Fiscal Year to Standard and the starting month as February.Correct

To configure a standard 12-month fiscal year that begins on a specific month like February, the administrator should set the Fiscal Year to 'Standard' and then select February as the starting month.
