Salesforce Certified Sales Cloud Consultant — Question 134

Universal Containers has a customer base that includes both individual consumers and businesses. The company has implemented Person Accounts in
Salesforce and has a custom object for `Policies` that needs to relate to both Person Accounts and business accounts.
What is the minimum configuration on the policy custom object needed to meet this requirement?

Answer options

• A. Create a contact lookup field and an account lookup field.
• B. Create a master-detail contact relationship.
• C. Create a master-detail account relationship.
• D. Create a custom contact lookup field.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because creating both a contact lookup and an account lookup allows the `Policies` custom object to reference either Person Accounts or business accounts. The other options are incorrect as they limit the relationship to either accounts or contacts only, which would not meet the requirement of linking to both types of accounts.
