What is true regarding changing the field type of a rich text area?

Answer options

• A. It is not possible to change the field type of a rich text area.

• C. Images in a rich text area are deleted when the field type is converted.
• D. Rich text area fields can be converted to a text area field type but data may be truncate.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because rich text area fields can indeed be converted to a long text area field type, which allows for the retention of text formatting. Options A and C are incorrect as they misrepresent the capabilities of field type conversion, while option D inaccurately states that data truncation occurs when converting to a text area field type.
