A. B. C. D.

Correct Answer: B

Deleted fields will be removed from salesforce after 15 days if they are not undeleted.

Option A is incorrect because deleted fields will not stay in the backend in Salesforce forever

Option C is incorrect because deleted fields can't be restored at anytime

Option D is incorrect because deleted fields will not be erased if not undeleted after 5 days.

It will be erased if not undeleted even after 15 days.

Reference:

When a field is deleted in Salesforce, it is not immediately removed permanently from the system. Instead, it is sent to the recycle bin where it can be restored if necessary.

By default, deleted fields will stay in the recycle bin for 15 days, during which time they can be undeleted by an administrator. After 15 days, if the field has not been restored, it will be automatically erased from the recycle bin and permanently deleted from the system.

Therefore, the correct answer to the question is option B: Deleted fields will be automatically erased if not undeleted after 15 days.

It's important to note that while fields can be restored from the recycle bin within 15 days, once they are permanently deleted, they cannot be recovered. Additionally, some types of fields, such as formula fields and some system fields, cannot be deleted.
