When configuring a report, which statement is true?

• A. You only need to set the report name.
• B. You need to set report parameters, choose the file format, and schedule when the report runs.
• C. You must configure the report using external tools.
• D. Scheduling a report is optional and can be omitted.

Answer: (B)

Configuring a report involves deciding what data to include, how to present it, and when to generate and deliver it. The best choice reflects that you specify the report parameters to control filters such as date range or metrics, choose the file format for the output (CSV, PDF, etc.), and set a schedule for when the report runs so it can be produced automatically. Without parameters, you’d either get too much data or nothing meaningful; without a defined file format there’s no usable export; without scheduling, you’d have to run the report manually each time, which defeats automation. The other statements fall short because simply naming the report does not define its content or output, external tools aren’t required for standard configuration, and omitting scheduling means no automated delivery.
