   A large enterprise runs an Experience Cloud portal for dealers to place orders. The portal must integrate with an external inventory system that updates stock levels every 15 minutes. The inventory data is large (millions of records) and the business requires that dealers see accurate stock levels, but a delay of up to 15 minutes is acceptable. The IT team has limited Apex expertise and prefers declarative solutions. What is the best integration strategy?

   • AUse External Services to call the inventory API on-demand when a dealer views stock levels.
   • BUse a Platform Event to stream inventory updates in real-time.
   • CUse a scheduled Apex job to sync the inventory data into custom objects every 15 minutes.
   • DUse a third-party ETL tool to sync the data into Salesforce on a schedule.
