   An organization uses managed solutions from an ISV and also has an internal unmanaged solution that customizes a field on the same entity. After the ISV publishes an update, the internal customization stops working. What is the most likely cause and what should the administrator do?

   • AThe internal customization was overwritten because unmanaged customizations are always lost when a managed solution is updated. The administrator should reapply the customization directly to the entity.
   • BThe ISV solution layer is above the internal solution layer, so the ISV's changes override the internal customization. The administrator should check the solution layers and, if needed, add the customization to a solution that is above the ISV layer.
   • CThe ISV update changed the entity's primary key, breaking all customizations. The administrator should change the primary key back.
   • DThe internal unmanaged solution is automatically deleted when the ISV update is imported. The administrator should recreate the unmanaged solution.
