Why each option

To include newly created fields on the Account object in reports based on a custom report type, a System Administrator must edit the layout of that custom report type and add the new fields.

ACreate a new account report and add the new fields from the Report Builder.

Creating a new account report will not make new fields available if they have not been added to the underlying custom report type definition.

BFrom the Custom Report Type, Edit Layout, then add the new fields to the report. CalculatorCorrect

New fields added to an object are not automatically available in existing custom report types; an administrator must edit the layout of the custom report type to manually add these fields, making them accessible in reports.

CFrom the Custom Report Type, Edit Object Relationships, then add the new fields to the report.

Editing object relationships in a custom report type determines which related objects are available for reporting, not which specific fields from the primary object are included.

DCreate a new account report folder, go to share, and then add the new fields.

Creating a new report folder and managing its sharing settings has no impact on which fields are available for selection within a custom report type.
