Question

• B

• D
  90% (19)

Explanation

Salesforce Data Loader authenticates by requiring the user's password concatenated with their personal security token. If the administrator's current security token is unknown-which is common after a password reset, since Salesforce automatically regenerates the security token when a password changes-the administrator must reset their security token via Setup > Personal Information > Reset My Security Token. The new token is emailed to the user and must be appended to the password at login. Option A is incorrect because no special import permission set is required beyond standard object permissions. Option B correctly describes the login technique but is the step that follows obtaining the token, not the prerequisite action. Option C is incorrect because the Data Import Wizard is a separate, browser-based tool and Data Loader can handle custom objects.
