Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
if (Trigger.size > 0)
Why it's wrong here
Trigger.size is always greater than zero when a trigger fires.
- ✗
if (Trigger.isExecuting)
Why it's wrong here
Trigger.isExecuting always evaluates to true inside any trigger context, so it does not filter specific events.
- ✗
if (Trigger.isBefore && Trigger.isUpdate)
Why it's wrong here
This targets before update, not after insert.
- ✓
if (Trigger.isAfter && Trigger.isInsert)
Why this is correct
This condition correctly targets after insert events.
