   A company needs to integrate Salesforce with a third-party data enrichment service. The service provides a REST API that can enrich account records with additional data. The enrichment process is time-consuming and can take up to 30 seconds per record. The company wants to enrich records in bulk without impacting user performance. Which approach should the architect recommend?

   • AUse Platform Events to publish records and have a subscriber call the enrichment service.
   • BUse Bulk API to send all records to the enrichment service at once.
   • CUse a scheduled Apex job to process records in batches and call the REST API asynchronously.
   • DUse synchronous Apex callouts in a trigger to enrich records in real-time.
