A. B.

A.

The correct answer is: A. True.

To enable Field History Tracking for an object in Salesforce, the system administrator must follow the steps below:

  1. Navigate to the object's detail page.
  2. Click on the "Set History Tracking" button in the "Custom Fields & Relationships" section.
  3. Select the fields that you want to track, and click the "Save" button.

After enabling Field History Tracking for an object and selecting the fields to track, Salesforce automatically creates a related list for the object, which displays the field history data. However, this related list is not automatically added to the page layout.

To view the Field History Tracking related list on the page layout, the system administrator must add it to the page layout manually. To do this, follow the steps below:

  1. Navigate to the object's detail page.
  2. Click on the "Page Layout" button in the "Page Layouts" section.
  3. Select the page layout that you want to modify.
  4. Drag the "Field History" related list from the "Related Lists" section onto the page layout.
  5. Save the page layout.

Therefore, the statement "To enable Field History Tracking for an object, the system administrator must also add the related list to the page layout" is true.
