Why each option
To capture geographical coordinates for product shipments in Salesforce, the administrator should use the Geolocation custom field type.
Geofence is a concept related to a virtual geographic boundary, not a specific field type in Salesforce.
The Geolocation field type is specifically designed in Salesforce to store latitude and longitude coordinates, making it the most appropriate choice for tracking geographical locations like product shipment coordinates.
An External lookup is a relationship field that links to an object in an external system, not a field type for storing coordinates.
A Custom address field stores structured address components (street, city, state, etc.), but not raw latitude and longitude coordinates directly.
