Salesforce Certified Platform App Builder — Question 322

DreamHouse Realty wants to make sure an Opportunity has a field Expected_Close_Date＿c populated before it is allowed to enter the qualified stage.

How should an app builder solution this request?

Answer options

• A. Record Type
• B. Activity History
• C. Validation Rule
• D. Page Layout

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, Validation Rule, because it allows you to enforce specific criteria that must be met before a record can be saved or moved to a different stage. The other options, such as Record Type and Page Layout, do not enforce field population criteria, while Activity History is not related to field validation.
