Salesforce Platform Developer I (legacy) — Question 116

Which standard field is required when creating a new Contact record?

Answer options

• A. LastName
• B. Name
• C. AccountId
• D. FirstName

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The LastName field is mandatory for creating a new Contact record in Salesforce, as it is a fundamental identifier for the contact. The other options, while relevant, are not required fields; Name can be derived from LastName, AccountId is optional depending on the context, and FirstName is not obligatory for record creation.
