Which function would you use to fetch a content block by its name (another phrasing)?

• A. ContentBlockByName
• B. ContentBlockByID
• C. ContentImageByKey
• D. DataExtensionRowCount

Answer: (A)

When you want to fetch a content block using its human-friendly name, you use the function designed to look up by name. ContentBlockByName takes the exact display name of the content block from Content Builder and returns its content so you can render it in an email or CloudPage. This is the direct way to retrieve blocks when you know the name, without needing the internal ID or a separate key. ContentBlockByID would require the block’s numeric ID, which isn’t as convenient when you’re referencing blocks by their name. ContentImageByKey targets image content by a specific image key and isn’t a general-purpose content block fetcher. DataExtensionRowCount simply returns how many rows are in a data extension, unrelated to content blocks. There is ContentBlockByKey for keyed references, but if your goal is to fetch by the block’s name, ContentBlockByName is the precise tool.
