   What is a recommended security practice when using the Developer Console to run SOQL queries or execute anonymous Apex?

   • AShare your login credentials with team members so they can also run queries.
   • BRun all queries and anonymous Apex in a production org to test real data.
   • CDisable all field-level security settings to ensure queries return all fields.
   • DUse a sandbox org for development and testing to avoid unintended changes to production data.

   A developer is using Workbench to perform a REST API call to retrieve Account records. They are concerned about security. Which action best mitigates the risk of token exposure?

   • AUse the OAuth 2.0 Web Server flow and ensure the session is over HTTPS.
   • BShare the session ID with the team so they can also run queries.
   • CUse the 'Login' button in Workbench, which automatically uses a secure connection.
   • DUse the SOAP API instead of REST, as it is inherently more secure.

   A developer is debugging a production issue that only occurs with real data. They need to run SOQL queries and view debug logs. The company has strict data privacy policies that prohibit exposing sensitive data outside the production org. What is the best approach?

   • AUse Workbench in production with a read-only API user and export the results to a secure file.
   • BCreate a sandbox with a partial copy of production data that excludes sensitive fields, and debug there.
   • CUse the Force.com IDE to run the queries and view logs in production, as it provides a secure connection.
   • DRun the queries in the production Developer Console and use field-level security to mask sensitive fields.

   A developer is debugging a trigger that runs on Account records. They need to view debug logs and execute SOQL queries. The org has a policy that all debugging must be done in a sandbox. However, the sandbox does not have the same data volume as production, and the issue only occurs with a large data set. What is the best approach?

   • ACreate a full sandbox that contains a copy of production data and use the Developer Console there.
   • BUse Workbench in production to run the queries and view logs, as it provides a secure connection.
   • CUse the Force.com IDE to run the queries and view logs in production, as it provides a secure connection.
   • DUse the Developer Console in production to run the queries and view logs, as the policy is too restrictive.

   What is a primary security risk when using Workbench to authenticate to a Salesforce org?

   • AWorkbench requires sharing your Salesforce password with the tool.
   • BWorkbench can only be used with a production org, increasing risk.
   • CThe authentication token may be exposed in the browser history or logs.
   • DWorkbench does not support HTTPS, so data is sent in plain text.
