Why each option matters

Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.

Answer analysis

Option-by-option breakdown

For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.

  • Use a Debug Level configuration to define the verbosity for individual log categories.

    Why this is correct

    Debug levels define the granularity of logs recorded per category.

  • Adjust log levels for specific categories such as Database, Workflow, and Apex Code.

    Why this is correct

    Granular log category levels prevent capturing unnecessary verbose system logs.

  • Configure a Trace Flag specifying the targeted user and a designated start/end time.

    Why this is correct

    Trace flags determine log levels and duration for specific users.

  • Modify the organization-wide default debug level in Company Information.

    Why it's wrong here

    Organization-wide debug defaults do not exist in Company Information.

  • Set up Apex Logging levels directly inside custom metadata types.

    Why it's wrong here

    Custom metadata types are not used to configure platform debug log filters.
