   A large enterprise is designing a solution to process bulk updates to Account records. The business requires that when an Account's Industry is changed to 'Technology', all related Contacts must have their 'Tech_Contact__c' checkbox set to true. The batch can include up to 10,000 Accounts, each with an average of 50 Contacts. The team is evaluating a Flow with a loop that queries Contacts per Account versus a single Apex trigger. Which consideration should drive the architect's recommendation?

   • AApex triggers are always faster than Flow for bulk operations, so the architect should choose Apex regardless of the logic.
   • BThe Flow will work fine because Flow automatically bulkifies all record operations and never hits governor limits.
   • CThe Flow can use a single 'Get Records' element with a filter on AccountId IN the collection, so it will not hit any limits.
   • DThe Flow will hit the per-transaction SOQL limit of 100 queries, so Apex with a single query and bulkified update is required.

   A nonprofit organization uses a custom object called 'Grant_Application__c'. When a Grant Application is submitted, the system must send an email to the assigned Program Officer, create a follow-up task for the Director, and update the Status field to 'Under Review'. The email template must include the applicant's name and the grant amount. Which combination of declarative tools should the architect recommend?

   • AA Workflow Rule to send the email and a separate Process Builder to create the task and update the Status.
   • BA single Flow that sends the email, creates the task, and updates the Status.
   • CAn Apex trigger to handle all three actions because email and task creation are too complex for declarative tools.
   • DA Flow to update the Status and a separate email alert via a Workflow Rule, with the task created by a Process Builder.
