Answer choices

Why each option matters

Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.

Correct answer & explanation

Security.stripInaccessible()

The Security.stripInaccessible() method strips fields and SObjects that the user lacks permission to read or create/update, avoiding runtime security exceptions.

Answer analysis

Option-by-option breakdown

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

  • Security.stripInaccessible()

    Why this is correct

    stripInaccessible removes inaccessible fields and records gracefully.

  • Database.insert(records, AccessType.ENFORCE_ACCESSIBLE)

    Why it's wrong here

    ENFORCE_ACCESSIBLE throws an exception rather than stripping inaccessible fields.

  • Approval.lock()

    Why it's wrong here

    Approval locking is used for record approval processes, not FLS enforcement.

  • Schema.sObjectType.fields.isAccessible()

    Why it's wrong here

    This is a boolean check method, not a method that strips data.
