I can guarantee you, the answer is A.

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.
