• Points of Interest Layer - Sets of geographical data that can be added to a geo map and analyzed with reference to business data from a model. For example, you can add points of interest layer that shows the locations of your customers or stores on a geo map.
• Choropleth/Drill Layer - Applies blocks of shading to different geographical locations based on the value of the selected measure. For example, you can add choropleth/drill layer that shows the sales revenue by country or region on a geo map.

The correct answers are C. Have a clear message and D. Use corporate branding standards. These are some of the guidelines that SAP recommends you follow when you create a story. According to the course material1, “Your current reporting and dashboard standards will suffice for SAP Analytics Cloud stories. And if you do not have reporting or dashboard standards, this is the perfect time to create them.” The course material also suggests that you should “have a clear message and purpose for your story” and "use corporate branding standards to ensure consistency and professionalism"1.

The other options are not mentioned as guidelines in the course material. Option A. Use grouping is a feature that allows you to group data points in a chart or table, but it is not a general design principle. Option B. Avoid pie charts is a common advice for data visualization, but it is not specific to SAP Analytics Cloud stories.
