I’m a bit confused about option B. I thought triggers were needed for automation, but maybe formula fields can also trigger some processes?

I feel like I’ve seen a question like this before, and I think option A might be about how formula fields don’t need a test class like triggers do.

I'm not entirely sure, but I think formula fields can calculate values for existing records automatically, which might relate to option C.

I remember that formula fields are generally easier to maintain than Apex triggers, so I think option D makes sense.

I think I know the answer to this one. The two out-of-the-box actions are Recalculate Actuals and Regenerate Agreement.

I'm a little confused by the options here. Some of them, like reports and representations of uncertainty, don't seem directly related to the task of identifying risks. I'll need to review my notes on risk management to make sure I'm choosing the best approach.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. The options seem to overlap a bit, so I'll need to think it through carefully. Maybe I'll start by considering what each term means and see which one best fits the description.
