   A company needs to automatically update the 'Next Review Date' field on an Account record to be 90 days after the most recent 'Review Completed' date from its child Opportunities. The review date is stored on the Opportunity as a custom date field. The admin must choose between a roll-up summary field and an Apex trigger. Which consideration is most important when deciding between these two approaches?

   • ARoll-up summary fields can only aggregate numeric fields, so Apex is required to find the maximum date.
   • BA roll-up summary field can store the maximum review date, but a formula field is needed to add 90 days, and this combination is simpler and more maintainable than Apex.
   • CAn Apex trigger is always required because roll-up summary fields cannot be used on the Account object.
   • DApex triggers are more efficient than roll-up summary fields because they run in real time, while roll-up summaries only update nightly.
