Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Use workflow field updates to overwrite text entries.
Why it's wrong here
Workflow rules cannot dynamically map arbitrary text strings to standardized picklist values across diverse inputs.
- ✓
Enable State and Country Picklists and use Data Loader to map standard values.
Why this is correct
State and Country Picklists provide native standardization, and Data Loader maps standard values or ISO codes directly.
- ✗
Write a trigger to format text fields upon insert.
Why it's wrong here
Writing custom code is unnecessary and harder to maintain when native picklist features exist.
- ✗
Rely on users to manually select the correct picklist value post-migration.
Why it's wrong here
Manual cleanup post-migration is prone to human error and low data adoption.
