Q) In a data model object A is related to object B, object B is related to object C. How will a you create a report to include fields of object A as well as object C?
a. Create a custom report type with A, B and C, and use it in the report

d. Create lookup relationships between A,B and C
Here are the reasons (you'll find extra info on this)
• B is not a possible answer, because you can create custom report type and also if an object has relationship to other object via master or lookup relationship, there is a pre-defined standard report type that will be automatically created.
• C is not a possible answer no defined relationship between Object A and Object C
• D is not a possible answer, creating a lookup relationship will destroy the original data model.
Strong Assurance
• A is possible because when creating a custom report type, you have the option to add or remove the fields of the related child object by editing the custom report type's layout.

A possible answer is B since the information given is not enough to guarantee a report type can have A and C in it.
So, strictly speakly B is probably the most correct answer since there is not enough information to choose A.
But Unless this is a trick question, the answer could be A.
if there is a relationship, you can create a report type assuming A is parent of B which is parent of C.
but with the information given, I would go with B to be safe.
Thx.
