Salesforce Certified Platform App Builder — Question 253

What is true about Master-Detail relationships? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. You can have a child record without the parent record.
• B. You have to expose the master-detail field on the child object page layout.
• C. When the parent record is deleted, all child records will be deleted.
• D. You cannot delete a child object.

Correct answer: B, C

Explanation

Options B and C are correct because in a Master-Detail relationship, the child record cannot exist without the parent, and deleting the parent will cascade the deletion to the child records. Options A and D are incorrect as they contradict the nature of Master-Detail relationships, where the child is dependent on the parent.
