The statement "Each workflow rule applies to a single object, such as leads, accounts, or opportunities" is generally true in Salesforce.

A workflow rule is a process automation tool in Salesforce that can evaluate records based on certain criteria and perform automated actions, such as updating fields, sending email alerts, or creating tasks. When creating a workflow rule, you must specify the object that the rule applies to.

For example, if you want to create a workflow rule that sends an email notification when a new lead is created, you would create a workflow rule that applies to the Lead object. Similarly, if you want to create a workflow rule that updates the close date on an opportunity, you would create a workflow rule that applies to the Opportunity object.

However, there are some exceptions to this rule. In certain cases, you can create a workflow rule that applies to multiple objects. For example, if you want to create a workflow rule that updates a field on both the Lead and Contact objects, you can create a rule that applies to both objects. Additionally, you can create cross-object workflow rules that evaluate related records on different objects and perform actions based on those relationships.

In summary, while the statement is generally true that each workflow rule applies to a single object in Salesforce, there are some exceptions where a rule can apply to multiple objects or evaluate related records on different objects.
