   A government agency uses Salesforce to manage permit applications. They have a custom object 'Permit__c' with a lookup to 'Account'. They want to enforce that an Account cannot have more than 3 active permits. The admin creates a roll-up summary field on the Account to count active permits and a validation rule on the Account to block saving if the count exceeds 3. However, the rule does not prevent the creation of a 4th permit. Why?

   • AThe validation rule is not active.
   • BThe validation rule on the Account only fires when the Account record is edited, not when a new Permit is created.
   • CThe roll-up summary field is not configured to count only active permits.
   • DValidation rules on the Account object cannot reference roll-up summary fields.
