Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
User.hasPermission('Opportunity', 'Delete')
Why it's wrong here
User.hasPermission is not a valid Apex method.
- ✗
System.hasDeleteAccess(Opportunity.class)
Why it's wrong here
System.hasDeleteAccess does not exist; record-level access uses UserRecordAccess with SOQL.
- ✓
Schema.sObjectType.Opportunity.isDeletable()
Why this is correct
Schema.sObjectType.Opportunity.isDeletable() correctly verifies object-level delete permissions.
- ✗
Opportunity.sObjectType.getDescribe().isDeletable()
Why it's wrong here
sObjectType is accessed on the Schema global describe namespace or via Schema.sObjectType.Opportunity, not directly as a static property on the sObject token variable this way.
