Explanation
A formula field automatically calculates and displays the warranty expiration date based on the installation date (for example, InstallationDate__c + 365), ensuring every record created from the mobile app has a consistently computed expiration date without requiring manual entry. This is appropriate for the standard 1-year warranty scenario. Option A (default value formula) would pre-populate an editable date field, which could introduce inconsistencies if accidentally changed. Option C (validation rule) enforces that a field is populated but does not compute the date value itself. Option D (adding the field to the mobile page layout) makes a field visible on the mobile form but does nothing to calculate or populate the expiration date automatically.
