Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Future methods cannot accept sObjects or custom non-primitive data types as parameters.
Why this is correct
Future methods only accept primitive data types or collections of primitives.
- ✗
Future methods return an AsyncApexJob ID immediately upon invocation.
Why it's wrong here
Future methods return void and do not provide a job ID.
- ✓
Future methods cannot be used if the caller is already executing in an asynchronous context (e.g., inside a batch or queueable job).
Why this is correct
Future methods cannot queue other future methods or be called from batch/queueable contexts in older configurations, preventing nested async nesting.
- ✓
Future methods execute asynchronously when system resources become available.
Why this is correct
Future methods are placed in the queue and executed asynchronously.
- ✗
Future methods can be called synchronously from within another future method.
Why it's wrong here
A future method cannot call another future method.
