A. B. C. D.Correct Answer: B
Metadata API gives you the ability to create, update, and delete custom objects and fields programmatically.
Metadata API can be accessed through force.com IDE or anti-migration tool.

Option C is incorrect because it should be custom objects
Option D is incorrect because it can create, update, and delete not only create and update the custom objects
Reference:
The force.com Metadata API is a tool provided by Salesforce that allows developers and administrators to create, update, and delete metadata within a Salesforce organization programmatically. Metadata refers to the configuration settings and customization options that define an organization's Salesforce instance, such as custom objects, fields, page layouts, workflows, and triggers.
Therefore, the correct answer to the question is B. With the force.com Metadata API, developers can create, update, and delete custom objects and fields programmatically. This means they can automate the process of creating new custom objects or modifying existing ones, as well as creating and updating the fields associated with those objects.
Option A is incorrect because the force.com Metadata API cannot be used to create, update, or delete standard objects and fields programmatically. Standard objects and fields are part of the core Salesforce platform and are not customizable in the same way that custom objects and fields are.
Option C is incorrect because the force.com Metadata API can create and update standard objects, but it cannot delete them.
Option D is also incorrect because the force.com Metadata API can create and update both custom and standard objects, but it cannot delete standard objects.
