Salesforce Certified Advanced Administrator — Question 143

Cloud Kicks has been tracking how many participants wear the company's shoes in each marathon. The administrator creates two custom objects: Races and Runners. There is a master-detail relationship between them as well as a Roll-up Summary field on the Races object to show the count of runners in each race. Requirements have changed, and the administrator wants to delete the Master-detail Relationship field without deleting the Runners records.

What action should an administrator take before the Relationship field can be deleted?

Answer options

• A. Delete the Roll-up Summary field on the parent.
• B. Uncheck 'Delete this record also' to turn off cascading deletes.
• C. Select the 'Allow Reparenting' checkbox on the Master-detail field.
• D. Change the field type to a Lookup Relationship.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because selecting the 'Allow Reparenting' checkbox enables the Runners records to remain intact when the Master-detail relationship is removed. Options A and B are incorrect as they do not address the necessary condition for deletion, and option D is not applicable since changing it to a Lookup Relationship is not a prerequisite for deleting the Master-detail relationship.
