Okay, I think I've got it. The key is to deactivate the products in Salesforce when they're deactivated in the ERP, and then archive the related Opportunity and Quote data in a way that preserves it for historical reference. I'm leaning towards option C.

Wait, I'm a bit confused. Isn't this more of a law enforcement or security question? I'm not sure I have the right background knowledge to answer this confidently. Maybe I should try to eliminate some of the options first before guessing.

C) Deactivate the Product m Salesforce once it is deactivated m the ERP. Archive the Opportunity and Quote data in a third-party system and bring back into Salesforce as External Objects. I'm not a fan of External Objects, but it's better than deleting everything.

B) Remove the Product from active Opportunities and Quotes. Archive the Opportunity and Quote data in a third-party system and bring back into Salesforce as External Objects. Straightforward, but what if we need to reference the old data?
