C. 3,000
Explanation:
The question likely refers to the maximum number of rows that can be displayed in a Salesforce report or list view, as this is a common context in the Salesforce Platform Foundations exam. In Salesforce, the maximum number of records (rows) that can be displayed in a report or list view is 2,000 when viewed in the user interface. This limit ensures performance and usability in the Salesforce platform.
Option A: 2,000
Salesforce imposes a limit of 2,000 rows for records displayed in the user interface for reports and list views. This applies to the standard report results page or list view page in Lightning Experience or Classic. If a report or list view returns more than 2,000 records, users can export the full dataset (up to 50,000 rows for reports in some cases, depending on the export format) or use filters to narrow the displayed results.
Why this is correct: The 2,000-row limit is a well-documented Salesforce constraint for the UI display of reports and list views, making this the correct answer for the context of the question.
Option B: 5,000
The number 5,000 does not correspond to any standard Salesforce limit for displaying rows in reports or list views. It may be confused with other Salesforce limits, such as the maximum number of records returned by a SOQL query in certain contexts (e.g., Apex governor limits), but it is not relevant to the display of rows in the UI.
Why this is incorrect: There is no 5,000-row display limit in Salesforce for reports or list views.
Option C: 3,000
The number 3,000 is not a standard limit for displaying rows in Salesforce reports or list views. It does not align with any documented Salesforce UI display constraints.
Why this is incorrect: Similar to 5,000, the 3,000-row option does not match Salesforce’s display limits.
Contextual Notes:
The question is somewhat ambiguous without specifying whether it refers to reports, list views, or another context (e.g., SOQL query results, Visualforce pages, or Data Loader exports). However, in the Salesforce Platform Foundations exam, questions about “rows displayed” typically refer to the UI limits for reports or list views, where 2,000 is the standard maximum.
If the question pertains to a different context (e.g., exporting reports, SOQL queries, or custom development), the limits may vary:
Report Exports: Up to 50,000 rows can be exported in certain formats (e.g., CSV), but the UI display is still capped at 2,000.
List Views: Display up to 2,000 records in the UI, though more records can be retrieved with filters or API queries.
SOQL Queries: In Apex, the default query limit is 50,000 records, but this is not about “displayed” rows in the UI.
Since the question specifies “rows will display,” the 2,000-row limit for UI display is the most applicable.
