An org has a custom object 'Inspection' with a lookup relationship to 'Account'. The compliance team needs to see the total number of failed inspections per Account. The admin attempts to create a roll-up summary field on Account but discovers it is not available. What is the most likely reason, and what is the best alternative?

The Inspection object does not have a numeric field to aggregate; use a workflow rule to count.

Roll-up summary fields cannot be used with custom objects; use an Apex trigger instead.

Roll-up summary fields are not available on standard objects like Account; use a formula field instead.

The relationship is a lookup, not a master-detail; use a Process Builder to update a count field on Account.
