Universal Containers (UC) wants to store product data in Salesforce, but the standard Product object does not support the more complex hierarchical structure which is currently being used in the product master system. How can UC modify the standard Product object model to support a hierarchical data structure in order to synchronize product data from the source system to Salesforce?

Suggested Answer: B

Creating a custom lookup field on the standard Product to reference the parent record in the hierarchy is the correct way to modify the standard Product object model to support a hierarchical data structure. This allows UC to create a self-relationship on the Product object and define parent-child relationships among products.

Option A seems like a solid choice for child records.

I don't think an Apex trigger is the right approach here. We need to modify the object model itself, not just sync data.

I feel like option B makes sense since we want to reference the parent record, but I’m not entirely confident about the implications of that choice.

I remember a practice question where we had to decide between lookup and master-detail relationships. I think master-detail might be more appropriate for hierarchies, but I can't recall the specifics.

I think we might need to create a custom lookup field, but I'm not sure if it should reference the parent or the child.
