A. B.

A.

When inserting a record using the API, validation rules are expected to be enforced by default. Validation rules are designed to ensure that data entered into Salesforce meets specific requirements and adhere to business rules. The API is one of the ways to insert records into Salesforce, and when records are inserted using the API, the same validation rules are triggered as when records are inserted manually through the user interface.

Validation rules are enforced at the time of record creation or update, regardless of the method used to create or update the record. The rules evaluate the values in the record and determine if the record meets the specified criteria. If the record does not meet the criteria, the validation rule displays an error message and prevents the record from being saved.

Therefore, the answer to the question is A. Yes, validation rules are expected to be enforced when inserting a record using the API.
