A plug-in is registered on the Update message of the contact entity. The plug-in performs a query to retrieve all related orders for the contact. The developer notices that the plug-in is slow and wants to optimize it. Which approach should the developer take?

Use a RetrieveMultiple with a filter on the contact's ID and retrieve all columns

Use a FetchXML query with a filter on the contact's ID and retrieve all columns

Use a RetrieveMultiple with no filter to get all orders and then filter in memory

Use a QueryExpression with a filter on the contact's ID and retrieve only the necessary columns

Which practice is recommended to improve the performance of a Dataverse plug-in?

Use early-bound types for all operations

Perform all data operations asynchronously

Use the IOrganizationService from the service factory for each operation
