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.
