In Oracle Global Human Resources Cloud, system person types are predefined categories used to classify individuals within the application, and user person types can be configured under these system person types to meet enterprise-specific needs, such as creating an "Intern" user type. The question asks which system person types can be used to set up "Intern" as an option. Based on Oracle documentation, the system person types available include Employee, Contingent Worker, Nonworker, and Pending Worker. The "Intern" classification typically represents a temporary or contractual worker performing work for the organization, often for a specific duration, which aligns closely with the characteristics of a Contingent Worker.
Option A: Pending WorkerA Pending Worker is a system person type used for individuals who will be hired or start a contingent worker placement but do not yet have an active work relationship. Their person record is created before the hire or start date, and they are converted to an Employee or Contingent Worker upon confirmation of the hire. While a Pending Worker record could be created for an intern prior to their start date, this system person type is a temporary state and not suitable for classifying an active "Intern" role, as it does not represent an ongoing work relationship. Therefore, Pending Worker is not the best fit for setting up "Intern" as a user type.
Option B: Person of InterestThe term "Person of Interest" is not a recognized system person type in Oracle Global Human Resources Cloud. Oracle documentation does not define "Person of Interest" as a standard system person type, though it may refer to entities (e.g., persons or organizations) tracked by the company in a broader sense. Nonworkers, such as volunteers or external contacts, might sometimes be loosely associated with this concept, but they are classified under the Nonworker system person type. Since "Person of Interest" is not a valid system person type, this option cannot be used to set up "Intern."
Option C: Contract Worker"Contract Worker" is not a predefined system person type in Oracle Global Human Resources Cloud. While Contingent Workers are often contractual in nature (e.g., agency-supplied or self-employed workers with fixed-duration work relationships), Oracle uses the term "Contingent Worker" as the system person type, not "Contract Worker." The application allows management of contract details for Contingent Workers under certain employment models, but "Contract Worker" itself is not a distinct system person type. Thus, this option is incorrect.
Option D: Contingent WorkerA Contingent Worker is a predefined system person type used for self-employed or agency-supplied workers whose work relationships with a legal employer are typically of a specified duration. Interns are often temporary workers engaged for a fixed period, performing specific tasks under a work relationship, which aligns with the Contingent Worker system person type. Oracle allows configuration of user person types under the Contingent Worker system person type to reflect enterprise-specific terminology. For example, an enterprise can create a user person type called "Intern" under the Contingent Worker system person type to classify interns. This makes Contingent Worker the most appropriate system person type for setting up "Intern" as an option.
The question specifies "two system person types," but based on Oracle documentation, only Contingent Worker is directly applicable for classifying an active "Intern" role, as Employee might imply a permanent or different contractual arrangement, and Nonworker or Pending Worker do not fit the typical intern profile. However, since the question requires two answers and Oracle’s configuration flexibility allows user person types under multiple system person types, the Employee system person type could theoretically be used if the intern is treated as a regular employee in some enterprises. Nevertheless, the most consistent and widely applicable choice for interns, based on their temporary and contractual nature, is Contingent Worker. Since only one answer aligns perfectly and the question’s phrasing may reflect a common test format expecting a single best fit or a potential documentation misalignment, Contingent Worker is selected as the verified answer.

Section: Person Types: "These are predefined person types that the application uses to identify a group of people. You can't change, delete, or create additional system person types. Each system person type contains a user person type that you can configure to your requirements. For example: If your enterprise refers to its employees as associates instead of employees, you change the Employee user person type to Associate."
