Why each option
To update a parent record based on a field change in a child record, the administrator should use Process Builder, a declarative automation tool.
An Approval Process is designed to manage approval workflows, not to automatically update related records based on field changes.
While Workflow Field Updates can update parent fields in master-detail relationships, Process Builder offers more advanced capabilities and is the recommended declarative automation tool for such cross-object updates.
A Lightning Web Component is a client-side UI component for building user interfaces, not a server-side automation solution for background data updates.
Process Builder is a declarative automation tool that allows for cross-object updates, meaning it can update fields on related records (including parent records) when a record meets specific criteria, such as a field being updated on a child record like Referral Source.
