   What is a primary drawback of using the Remote Process Invocation—Request and Reply pattern in a high-volume integration scenario?

   • AIt prevents any form of error handling because the response is always immediate.
   • BIt is unsuitable for real-time interactions because the response is always delayed.
   • CIt can cause the caller to block and wait, reducing overall throughput under heavy load.
   • DIt requires a message queue to store requests, adding infrastructure complexity.

   A manufacturing company needs to synchronize production data from multiple plants to Salesforce. The data is used for reporting and is not time-critical. The company wants to minimize integration complexity and cost. Which pattern should the architect recommend?

   • AUse a fire-and-forget callout from each plant for each data change.
   • BUse a batch data synchronization job that runs nightly to pull data from all plants.
   • CUse a synchronous request-and-reply call from each plant to Salesforce for each data change.
   • DUse a platform event to stream each data change from each plant.

   Which statement accurately describes a trade-off of the Batch Data Synchronization pattern?

   • AIt is efficient for large volumes of data but can result in stale data between sync runs.
   • BIt eliminates the need for conflict resolution because data is synchronized in bulk.
   • CIt provides real-time data updates, ensuring data is always current.
   • DIt is best suited for low-volume, high-frequency transactions.
