What are programmatically enabled events in Google Analytics?

• A. These events, set up by developers, include actions like 'share,' 'add to cart,' and 'purchase'.
• B. They are events automatically tracked by sample code.
• C. They are only used for error reporting.
• D. They replace all automatically collected events.

Answer: (A)

Programmatically enabled events are those you trigger from your code to send data to Google Analytics when users perform defined actions. Developers instrument these events by calling the analytics API (for example, gtag or the measurement protocol) to log interactions such as sharing content, adding items to a cart, or completing a purchase. These events are explicitly implemented, giving you control over what you measure and what data you attach (like item details, value, and currency).

They aren’t automatically tracked merely by having sample code, and they aren’t limited to error reporting. They also don’t replace all automatically collected events; they add to what GA4 already captures automatically.
