Section One: Questions 1–100
,Question 1
A developer needs to process a high volume of incoming records asynchronously and
ensure that the execution can handle up to 50 million records daily without hitting
standard concurrent request limits. Which asynchronous Apex feature should be
implemented to dynamically split the data into manageable chunks?
A. Queueable Apex
B. Future Methods
C. Batch Apex
D. Scheduled Apex
🟢 Correct answer: C. Batch Apex
🔴 RATIONALE: Batch Apex is specifically designed for large data volume (LDV)
processing because it breaks a massive record set down into smaller, discrete
batches (default size of 200) handled in independent transactions. This enables
processing of millions of records while resetting governor limits for each transaction
chunk. Future methods and Queueable Apex are bounded by lower execution limits
per transaction and lack built-in query locator chunking for millions of rows.
Question 2
,A real estate development firm in Raleigh wants to ensure that when an Account
record is deleted, all related Custom Project records are automatically deleted as
well. What type of relationship must be established between the Account object and
the Custom Project object?
A. Lookup Relationship
B. Master-Detail Relationship
C. Many-to-Many Relationship
D. External Lookup Relationship
🟢 Correct answer: B. Master-Detail Relationship
🔴 RATIONALE: A Master-Detail relationship enforces a strict parent-child behavior
where the child record's lifecycle is completely tied to the parent record. Deleting the
master record automatically cascades the deletion to all associated detail records.
Lookup relationships preserve the child records when a parent is deleted unless
explicitly configured otherwise via trigger or field configuration options, and they do
not enforce cascade-delete by default.
Question 3
, A developer writes an Apex trigger on the Contact object that performs a SOQL query
inside a for loop to check for matching email addresses. During a bulk data upload
of 500 contacts via Data Loader, the transaction fails. What specific limit did this
trigger violate?
A. Maximum CPU time on the Salesforce servers
B. Total number of SOQL queries issued
C. Total number of records retrieved by SOQL queries
D. Total number of DML statements issued
🟢 Correct answer: B. Total number of SOQL queries issued
🔴 RATIONALE: Salesforce enforces a strict synchronous governor limit of 100
SOQL queries per transaction. Placing a SOQL query inside a for loop causes a
separate query execution for each record being processed. During a bulk load of 500
records, the loop executes 500 times, quickly exceeding the 100-query threshold and
triggering a System.LimitException .
Question 4
An organization needs to comply with North Carolina consumer data privacy
regulations by ensuring that specific fields containing personally identifiable
