C.

In order to add the number of open defects for each product in the navigation menu, Michael can use option C, "Update the List Entry Label for Hedgers to Hedgers &HEDGER_DEFECTS., and similarly for other products."

Here's how Michael can achieve this:

  1. Go to Shared Components and select Navigation Menu.
  2. Click on the navigation menu that he wants to update.
  3. In the Navigation Menu Entries section, he will see a list of all the menu items.
  4. For each menu item, click on the Edit button.
  5. In the Edit Navigation Menu Entry dialog box, update the List Entry Label for the menu item. For example, for the Hedgers menu item, he would update the label to "Hedgers &HEDGER_DEFECTS." This will add the value of the HEDGER_DEFECTS application item to the label.
  6. Click Apply Changes to save the changes.

After following these steps, the number of open defects for each product will be displayed next to the product name in the navigation menu.

Option A, "Update the Navigation Menu template to be Include Count," is not a valid option as there is no such template option available in Oracle Application Express (APEX) to include count in the navigation menu.

Option B, "Update Template Options and set Display Count to True," is also not a valid option as there is no option in the Template Options to display count in the navigation menu.

Option D, "Add &HEDGER_DEFECTS. to User Defined Attribute 01 in the navigation menu for Hedgers, and similarly for other products," is not the correct option either. User Defined Attribute 01 is not designed to hold dynamic data, such as the number of defects, and therefore, it cannot be used to display the number of open defects for each product in the navigation menu.
