D . Automation 1: Triggered Automation 2: Scheduled to run daily at 9:00 AM Import File -> Filter -> Send Email -> Filter -> Send Email

Answer: A

Explanation:

If a question is related to automation and it mentions that a file will be available in the FTP always at a specific time, your answer will be an option with a scheduled automation. Scheduled automations are used when you know the time a file is pushed into FTP and it always runs at a scheduled time. If a question is related to automation and there is an uncertainty when the file will be pushed to FTP (ex; a day before last working day / if a date falls on a weekend, it will be available on last Friday etc.), your answer will be an option with a Triggered Automation. Triggered Automations are fired as soon as a file hits a specific location within FTP. Transfer activity is involved when file is encrypted.
