• D

Explanation

The Data Import Wizard supports up to 50,000 records per import and handles Accounts with their associated Contacts in a single import job, which matches exactly this use case. It has a guided UI requiring no technical expertise, making it ideal for admin-assisted or self-service imports. At 300 records, this volume is well within the wizard's limits. Data Loader (D) is better suited for very large datasets (millions of records), automating recurring imports via CLI, or importing objects the wizard doesn't support - it's overkill and requires more technical setup for this simple use case. Manual Import (A) is not a standard Salesforce tool name.
