Salesforce Platform Developer I (legacy) — Question 133

Universal Containers is building a recruiting app with an Applicant object that stores information about an individual person and a Job object that represents a job. Each applicant may apply for more than one job.

What should a developer implement to represent that an applicant has applied for a job?

Answer options

• A. Lookup field from Applicant to Job
• B. Junction object between Applicant and Job
• C. Master-detail field from Applicant to Job
• D. Formula field on Applicant that references Job

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, as a master-detail relationship allows for a strong association between the Applicant and Job objects, enabling features like cascading deletes and roll-up summary fields. The other options do not provide the same level of relationship management; a lookup field (A) is more loosely connected, a junction object (B) is unnecessary since there is only one direction of relationship needed, and a formula field (D) does not establish a relationship but merely calculates data.
