For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.

Create a custom currency field on the Opportunity object and use workflow rules to update amounts.

Why this is correct
Manager adjustments allow superiors to adjust forecasts while preserving the original amounts and creating an audit trail.
