At Gascoyne Freight, an administrator must load roughly 250,000 Opportunity records exported from a retired legacy system into Salesforce in a single migration. Which tool best meets this requirement?
- AUse Data Loader, which is designed for high-volume loads far beyond the wizard's cap. Correct
- BUse the Data Import Wizard, since it supports Opportunities and needs no separate install.
- CSplit the source file into five Data Import Wizard passes of 50,000 records each.
- DUse the Data Import Wizard after raising its record limit in the object's settings.
Why A is correct: Data Loader handles up to five million records per operation and supports Opportunity, making it the correct choice for a bulk migration of this size.
Why B is wrong: The wizard is convenient and does support several standard objects, but it caps each import at 50,000 records, so it cannot handle a 250,000-record migration in one pass.
Why C is wrong: Batching is a tempting workaround, but it multiplies manual effort and error risk when a single purpose-built tool already handles the whole volume.
Why D is wrong: This sounds plausible, but there is no setting that lifts the wizard's 50,000-record ceiling, so the approach cannot work.
