Salesforce Certified Advanced Administrator — Question 130

Universal Containers wants to track expense reports and expense line items. Values from expense line item records need to be aggregated and displayed on the expense record.
Which type of relationship should an administrator use to ensure that expense line items can be aggregated?

Answer options

• A. Hierarchical
• B. Master-detail
• C. Lookup
• D. Roll-up summary

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, Master-detail, because this relationship allows for the aggregation of values from the detail records (expense line items) and displays them on the master record (expense report). Hierarchical and Lookup relationships do not provide the same aggregation capabilities, and Roll-up summary is a function of the Master-detail relationship, not a standalone relationship type.
