   Why is the order of execution important when considering recursion?

   • ABecause it determines which triggers run first, but it has no effect on recursion.
   • BBecause field updates from triggers and workflows can cause triggers to fire again, and understanding the order helps predict and prevent recursion.
   • CBecause it determines whether recursion is allowed at all.
   • DBecause it determines the maximum number of recursion cycles allowed.

   How can recursive trigger calls affect governor limits?

   • AThey can cause the trigger to run faster, reducing the risk of hitting limits.
   • BThey only affect CPU time limits, not DML or SOQL limits.
   • CThey can consume DML, SOQL, and other limits more quickly, potentially causing failures.
   • DThey have no effect on governor limits because limits are per-transaction, not per-trigger.

   What is a common pattern to prevent infinite recursive trigger executions?

   • AUsing a transient keyword on a trigger variable.
   • BUsing a public class variable that is reset after each DML operation.
   • CUsing a static Boolean flag to skip the trigger logic on subsequent calls.
   • DUsing a global variable that is shared across all transactions.
