Explanation

Logging in as the user (C) lets the administrator reproduce the exact experience - same profile, permissions, and record access - making it the only way to see the precise error the VP is encountering rather than inferring it indirectly.

Why the distractors are wrong:

  • A (Edit page layout): Page layouts control field arrangement and visibility, not save errors caused by permission or validation issues.
  • B (View setup audit trail): The audit trail records configuration changes, not runtime errors experienced by end users.
  • D (Review the sharing model): Sharing controls record access, not the specific save error; and the administrator already confirmed they could save without error, ruling out a simple sharing gap as the explanation.

Memory tip: Think "see what they see" - when a user reports an error you can't reproduce, the only true validation is stepping into their shoes via Login As User, which is exactly what Salesforce's feature is called under Setup > Users.
