Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Increase the maximum log file size in company profile settings.
Why it's wrong here
Salesforce enforces a strict maximum debug log size limit that cannot be globally increased.
- ✓
Adjust the Trace Flag log levels to reduce verbosity for unnecessary categories like Database and Workflow.
Why this is correct
Reducing verbosity for unneeded categories keeps log sizes small enough to capture the critical execution path.
- ✗
Disable all validation rules in the org temporarily.
Why it's wrong here
Disabling validation rules does not change log generation size limits for other components.
- ✗
Switch the debug log perspective to 'Development Harvester'.
Why it's wrong here
Development Harvester is not a standard Salesforce debug log perspective.
