The statement is generally true, as when a lead is converted, it typically creates an account, a contact, and an opportunity in Salesforce, unless you opt-out of creating an opportunity.

When a lead is converted, Salesforce checks if there is an existing account, contact, or opportunity related to the lead. If there is, Salesforce will associate the lead with the existing records. If there is no existing record, Salesforce will create a new account, contact, and opportunity record.

The account record will be associated with the contact and opportunity records. The contact record will be associated with the account record and will contain all the information from the lead record, such as name, email, and phone number. The opportunity record will be associated with the account record and will include the information from the lead record, such as the lead source and the lead status.

However, it's possible to opt-out of creating an opportunity during the lead conversion process. This option is available in the Lead Settings under the Object Manager. If you choose to opt-out of creating an opportunity, Salesforce will create only an account and a contact record.

So, in summary, the statement is true that a lead will typically be converted into an account, a contact, and an opportunity record, but with the option to opt-out of creating an opportunity.
