Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Include the 'WITH SECURITY_ENFORCED' clause in the SOQL query.
Why this is correct
WITH SECURITY_ENFORCED enforces field and object-level security checks on SOQL queries.
- ✗
Disable FLS checks in user profile settings before executing queries.
Why it's wrong here
Modifying profiles is an admin configuration task, not an Apex development pattern for enforcing security.
- ✗
Execute queries inside an asynchronous @future method.
Why it's wrong here
Asynchronous methods run in system context, bypassing user-level sharing rules.
- ✗
Use the 'without sharing' keyword on all transaction controllers.
Why it's wrong here
'without sharing' explicitly disables sharing rule enforcement.
- ✓
Define the helper class with the 'with sharing' keyword.
Why this is correct
'with sharing' enforces sharing rules at the class level.
