Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Rely solely on 'with sharing' keywords to handle field-level security checks.
Why it's wrong here
'with sharing' only enforces record-level sharing rules, not field-level security (FLS).
- ✓
Check sObject createability before performing insert DML operations.
Why this is correct
Verifying isCreateable ensures users have permission to create records.
- ✗
Disable all triggers when performing security checks.
Why it's wrong here
Triggers should not be disabled for security checks.
- ✓
Check object updatability before committing updates to the database.
Why this is correct
Verifying isUpdateable ensures users have permission to edit records.
- ✓
Use Schema describe methods to verify field accessibility before querying.
Why this is correct
Checking field accessibility prevents unauthorized data exposure.
