Why each option

When undeleting a custom field, an administrator must restore it from the Deleted Fields section, which functions as a recycle bin for custom fields.

AThe field needs to be re-added to reports.

When a custom field is undeleted, its previous references, including its presence in reports, are automatically restored; it generally does not need to be manually re-added to reports.

BThe field history will remain deleted.

Upon undeletion, the custom field's associated field history tracking and data are typically restored along with the field.

CThe field needs to be restored from the recycle bin.Correct

To undelete a custom field, an administrator must access the 'Deleted Fields' section in Salesforce setup, which functions as a recycle bin for custom fields, and initiate the restore process from there.

DThe field needs to be re-added to page layouts.

Upon undeletion, the custom field is automatically restored to all page layouts where it was previously visible, negating the need for manual re-addition.
