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

The Security class and sObjectDescribe methods provide mechanisms to check CRUD and FLS in Apex before querying or displaying data.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Employee__c.Salary__c.getDescribe().isCreateable()
Why it's wrong here
isCreateable checks if the user can insert values into the field, not whether they can read existing values.
- ✗
User.hasReadAccess('Employee__c', 'Salary__c')
Why it's wrong here
This is not a valid Salesforce standard method signature for checking field-level security.
- ✓
Schema.sObjectType.Employee__c.fields.Salary__c.isAccessible()
Why this is correct
The isAccessible() method on the field describe result returns true if the current user has read access to the field.
- ✗
ApexPages.currentPage().getParameters().get('Salary__c')
Why it's wrong here
This retrieves page parameters from the URL context and has nothing to do with security checks.
