The statement "Field-level security can be used to make a field required" is false.

Field-level security is used to restrict access to specific fields on an object. This means that administrators can control which users or profiles have read or write access to a particular field. For example, an organization may have sensitive data that only certain users or profiles are allowed to view or edit.

On the other hand, making a field required means that a value must be entered into that field before a record can be saved. Field-level security does not control whether a field is required or not.

To make a field required, you can set the "Required" field property in the object's field definition. This means that users will be prompted to enter a value for that field before they can save the record. Alternatively, you can use validation rules to enforce specific data requirements for fields.

It's important to note that making a field required may not necessarily restrict access to that field. Users with the appropriate permissions can still view and edit the field, they just won't be able to save the record until the required field is populated with a value.
