Salesforce Certified Advanced Administrator — Question 138

AW Computing has a new requirement from its security team where audit information relating to an account must be recorded in a new custom object called Audit. Audit records need to be preserved for 10 years and only accessible by the audit team.

What relationship should be used to relate the Audit object to the Account object?

Answer options

• A. Master-Detail
• B. Lookup
• C. Self
• D. Many-To-Many

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The Master-Detail relationship is appropriate here because it allows for strong ownership and sharing settings, ensuring that the Audit records are tightly linked to the Account and inherit its security model. A Lookup relationship would not enforce the necessary data integrity and security requirements for the audit records. Self and Many-To-Many relationships do not fit the scenario as they do not provide the required association between these two distinct objects.
