Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
System.scheduleBatch(new MySchedulableClass(), 'Weekly Job', 200);
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect. scheduleBatch is used for scheduling batch jobs, not standard Schedulable classes.
- ✗
System.enqueueJob(new MySchedulableClass(), '0 0 0 ? * MON *');
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect. enqueueJob is used for Queueable Apex and does not accept CRON expressions.
- ✗
System.schedule(new MySchedulableClass(), '0 0 0 ? * MON *');
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect. The method signature expects the job name as the first parameter and the CRON string as the second.
- ✓
System.schedule('Weekly Job', '0 0 0 ? * MON *', new MySchedulableClass());
Why this is correct
Correct. This provides the job name, valid CRON string, and class instance.
