Explanation
The date parameters that the analyst should use are Q3 2019 vs. Q3 2020, as this will allow the analyst to compare the sales performance of the Q3 2020 promotion with the same period of last year. This will help to eliminate any seasonal or cyclical effects that might affect the sales data. The other options are not relevant for this purpose, as they either compare different quarters or different years. Reference: CertMaster Practice for Data+ Exam Prep - CompTIA
