Question 1Choose one

A digital media publisher wants to understand reader engagement more deeply. Their website features articles across various categories (e.g., 'Technology', 'Finance', 'Lifestyle') and formats (e.g., 'Article', 'Video', 'Podcast'). The analytics team needs to analyze which content categories and formats drive the highest user engagement and lead to the most newsletter subscriptions. To achieve this, they plan to send the content category and format as parameters with the `page_view` event. They need to make this information available for analysis in standard reports, explorations, and for building audiences. The data must be permanently stored and associated with the events it was collected with. Which GA4 feature should be configured to capture and utilize this metadata effectively?
