Salesforce Platform Developer I (legacy) — Question 95

A company has a custom object named Region. Each Account in Salesforce can only be related to one Region at a time, but this relationship is optional.
Which type of relationship should a developer use to relate an Account to a Region?

Answer options

• A. Parent-Child
• B. Hierarchical
• C. Lookup
• D. Master-Detail

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, Lookup, because it allows for an optional relationship where an Account can be related to a Region without enforcing a strict dependency. In contrast, Master-Detail (D) requires a mandatory relationship, while Parent-Child (A) and Hierarchical (B) are not applicable in this context.
