Salesforce Certified Platform App Builder — Question 145

The app builder at Ursa Major Solar has just created a master-detail relationship between a parent object Galaxy__c and child object Star__c.
What would be the effect of creating this type of relationship if users want to report on Galaxy__c with Star__c?

Answer options

• A. A new custom report type will need to be created for Galaxy__c with Star__c.
• B. A Star__c report type with Galaxy__c as a field will be automatically created.
• C. A Galaxy__c with Star__c report type will be automatically created.
• D. A new custom report type will need to be created for Star__c with lookup fields from Galaxy__c.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because when a master-detail relationship is created, users need to create a new report type for the child object (Star__c) that includes lookup fields to the parent object (Galaxy__c) in order to report on it. Options A, B, and C are incorrect as they incorrectly assume automatic report type creation does not apply or suggests creating the report for the wrong object.
