Why each option

To build the database layer for a Salesforce application using exclusively declarative development, one would define custom objects and fields, establish relationships between them, and utilize Roll-Up Summaries for aggregate data.

ARoll-Up SummariesCorrect

Roll-Up Summaries are declarative tools that aggregate data from child records to a parent record, representing a database-level calculation.

BTriggers

Triggers are programmatic (Apex) solutions used for automating business logic, not declarative components of the database layer's structure.

CRelationshipsCorrect

Relationships (Lookup, Master-Detail) are declarative constructs that define how objects are linked, forming the relational structure of the database layer.

DFlowCorrect
ECustom Objects and Fields

Concept tested: Declarative database schema design
