In Salesforce Marketing Cloud, a list is the appropriate data model to create a group. Lists are specifically designed to store and manage subscriber data, allowing marketers to segment their audiences based on various criteria. They enable the organization of subscribers into manageable groups for targeted communications, facilitating effective email marketing campaigns.

Unlike data filters, which serve to segment existing subscriber data but do not store it themselves, lists actually contain the subscriber information. Content blocks focus on the content of emails rather than subscriber management, and while the All Subscribers list is a comprehensive collection of all subscriber records, creating specific groups for targeted campaigns is best accomplished through the use of lists. Thus, using a list allows for optimal organization and efficient targeting within email marketing efforts.
