A Salesforce administrator at a culinary institute is evaluating schema management rules for the organization's Salesforce environment. The system utilizes the standard Account object to track supplier facilities and a custom object named Kitchen Audit to record safety inspections. Which statement correctly describes a fundamental management capability or limitation regarding standard and custom objects?
- Standard objects cannot be deleted from the organization, whereas custom objects can be deleted if they are not referenced in components such as code or custom fields.Answer
- BDeleting a parent Account record in a Master-Detail relationship causes child Kitchen Audit records to remain active without a parent.
- CA Roll-Up Summary field can be created on the standard Account object to aggregate child Kitchen Audit records linked via a Lookup relationship.
- DCreating a new Record Type on a custom object automatically configures all picklist fields to display all available picklist values without manual intervention.
Answer
Standard objects cannot be deleted from the organization, whereas custom objects can be deleted if they are not referenced in components such as code or custom fields.
Standard objects are native to Salesforce and cannot be deleted from the organization's schema (although their tabs can be hidden and standard field labels renamed). In contrast, custom objects created by administrators can be deleted as long as all dependencies, such as custom fields or Apex code, are first removed.
