1. Meta Business Help Center, "About Conversions API." This official documentation states, "The Conversions API is a Meta Business Tool that lets you share key web and offline events, or customer actions, directly from your server to Meta's... This helps you improve the performance and measurement of your Meta ad campaigns." This supports the "direct connection to an advertiser's server" and "measure results" aspects of the correct answer.
2. Meta for Developers, "Conversions API > Overview." The documentation describes CAPI as a tool that allows advertisers to "send web events from their servers directly to Facebook." It further explains that these events are "used in measurement, reporting, and optimization," which directly aligns with the functions listed in the correct answer.
3. Meta Business Help Center, "About Meta Pixel." This source clarifies the function of the Pixel, stating, "The Meta Pixel is a snippet of code that you put on your website that allows you to measure the effectiveness of your advertising by understanding the actions people take on your website." This confirms that options A and C describe the Pixel, not the Conversions API.
