Tables display multiple numbers in a grid, so doesn’t fit the single-number requirement
Charts display numeric data graphically; doesn’t fit the requirement

Q
UC managers want to be able to access all records that their team members can access. Which feature should sys admin use to enable this requirement? Choose one.	
	A. Object-level access on Profiles
	B. Field-level access to Profiles
	C. Organization-wide Defaults
	D. Role hierarchy
	E. Sharing rules
	F. Manual sharing
A

D
Sets the CRED privileges for Profiles; does not provide access to specific records
This is a reference to Field Level Security, which does not fulfill the requirement
If the OWD were set to Public, then managers could see not only their team’s records, but all records, so this is overkill
X This is exactly what Role Hierarchy is for.
You would have to write an ownership-based sharing rule for every single employee… good luck with that!
Would require every employee to manually share w/ their manager every record… not very practical!
