Salesforce Certified Platform Developer II — Question 12

A developer is asked to update data in an org based on new business rules. The new rules state that Accounts with the type set to 'Customer' should have a status of 'Active', and Accounts with the type set to 'Prospect' should have a status of 'Pending'. No other changes to data should be made.
Which code block will accurately meet the business requirements?

Answer options

• A. Map<String, String> statusMap = new Map<String, String>{'Customer'=>'Active', 'Prospect'=>'Pending'} List<Account> accountUpdates = new List<Account>(); for ( Account a : [SELECT Id, Type FROM Account]){ if ( statusMap.containsKey(a.Type) ) { a.Status = a.Type == 'Customer' ? 'Active' : 'Pending'; } accountUpdates.add(a); } update accountUpdates;
• B. Map<String, String> statusMap = new Map<String, String>{'Customer'=>'Active', 'Prospect'=>'Pending'} List<Account> accountUpdates = new List<Account>(); for ( Account a : [SELECT Id, Type FROM Account WHERE Status IN :statusMap.keySet()]){ a.Status = statusMap.get(a.Type); accountUpdates.add(a); } update accountUpdates;
• C. List<Account> accountUpdates = new List<Account>(); for ( Account a : [SELECT Id, Type FROM Account]){ if ( String.isNotBlank(a.Type) && a.Type == 'Customer' ){ a.Status = 'Active'; } if ( String.isNotBlank(a.Type) && a.Type == 'Prospect' ){ a.Status = 'Pending'; } accountUpdates.add(a); } update accountUpdades;
• D. List<Account> accountUpdates = new List<Account>(); for ( Account a : [SELECT Id, Type FROM Account]){ a.Status = a.Type == 'Customer' ? 'Active' : 'Pending'; accountUpdates.add(a); } update accountUpdates;

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Option A correctly implements the business rules by using a map to associate Account types with their statuses and updates only those accounts that match the criteria. Option B is incorrect because it filters accounts based on their current status rather than type. Option C fails to update all accounts appropriately as it does not handle cases where the Type is neither 'Customer' nor 'Prospect'. Option D sets the status for all accounts indiscriminately, which does not adhere to the specified business rules.
