Why each option

To prevent users from selecting more than one style, an administrator should change the field type from a multi-select picklist to a standard picklist field.

AChange the field type from a multi-select picklist field to a picklist field.Correct

Changing the field type from a multi-select picklist to a standard picklist field directly prevents users from selecting more than one value, as a standard picklist inherently allows only a single selection.

BSelect the "Choose only one value" checkbox on the picklist field.Correct

While a standard picklist inherently allows only one value, this option refers to the fundamental characteristic of a standard picklist field that it is designed to "choose only one value," thereby fulfilling the requirement to prevent multiple selections.

CBack-up the Shoe Style values in existing records.

Backing up existing data is a crucial best practice before changing field types due to potential data loss, but it is not a direct step in accomplishing the field's functional change to prevent multiple selections.

DReactivate the appropriate Shoe Style values after the field type changes.

Changing the field type does not typically deactivate existing picklist values; instead, it converts how those values are stored and selected, making reactivation irrelevant for the goal of single selection.
