   • AWrite an Apex trigger on Opportunity to create the task.
   • BCreate a Workflow Rule with a time-based action to create the task 3 days after the Opportunity is closed won.
   • CCreate a Flow that triggers on Opportunity creation/update, checks the Amount and Stage, and creates the task.
   • DCreate a Process Builder that creates the task immediately when the Opportunity is closed won.

   A company needs to integrate Salesforce with a legacy on-premises system using a custom SOAP API. The integration must be triggered when a specific field on the Account is updated, and the response must be used to update a related custom object. The API is slow and can take up to 60 seconds to respond. Which approach should the architect recommend?

   • AUse a Flow with an External Service to call the SOAP API and update the custom object.
   • BUse a synchronous Apex callout from a trigger to call the SOAP API and update the custom object.
   • CUse a scheduled Apex batch job that runs every hour to check for updated Accounts and call the API.
   • DUse a Queueable Apex job to perform the callout and update the custom object asynchronously.

   A team is building a solution that must import up to 5,000 records into a custom object nightly. The data requires complex transformation that cannot be done with simple mapping. The team is evaluating a Flow with a loop and a Data Transformation Apex action. Which consideration is most important for the architect to evaluate?

   • AThe Apex action should be invoked once per record to ensure accurate transformation.
   • BThe Flow's loop will process records one by one, which is acceptable for 5,000 records, but the Apex action must be bulkified.
   • CThe Flow should use a Platform Event to trigger the Apex action, ensuring asynchronous processing.
   • DThe Flow should be replaced entirely with an Apex batch job because 5,000 records is too many for any Flow.
