Wait, did they say the external ID field is called 'order Number__c'? That's a weird way to name it, but I guess it works. C is the answer for sure.

Aha! C is the winner! Upsert is the way to handle this situation. I bet the exam writers were trying to trick us with those other options.

Hmm, I think option C is the correct answer. The 'upsert' statement is used to insert new records or update existing ones based on the external ID field.

I'm not sure, but I think merge orders Order Number_c might also work since it mentions the external ID field.
