Salesforce is built on objects like Account, Contact, and Opportunity. What is a representation of an object?

Explanation

In Salesforce, an object is analogous to a database table. A list view or the object's data structure can be visualized as a spreadsheet: each row is an individual record (e.g., a specific Account or Contact), and each column is a field (e.g., Name, Phone, Email). This mental model is foundational to understanding Salesforce's data architecture. Option B is incorrect because objects are logical data constructs, not physical visualizations. Option C describes relationships between objects (like lookups and master-detail), which is a related but separate concept from what an object itself represents.
