Salesforce Certified Advanced Administrator — Question 39

An administrator has been asked to create a replica of the production organization. The requirement states that existing fields, page layouts, record types, objects, and data contained in the fields and objects need to be available in the replica organization.
How can the administrator meet this requirement?

Answer options

• A. Create a developer sandbox
• B. Create a configuration-only sandbox
• C. Create a metadata sandbox
• D. Create a full sandbox

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, as a full sandbox includes all data and metadata, providing a complete replica of the production environment. Options A and B do not include data; A is limited to development, while B focuses solely on configuration. Option C only provides metadata without any actual data, making it insufficient for this requirement.
