B.

User records in Salesforce can be deleted, but they cannot be permanently deleted. When a user record is deleted, it goes into the Salesforce Recycle Bin, where it stays for 15 days (by default) before being permanently deleted. During that time, the record can be restored if needed.

Therefore, the correct answer to the question is B, "No."

It's important to note that the ability to delete user records may be restricted based on the profile settings of the administrator. For example, if the administrator's profile does not have the "Delete" permission for user records, they will not be able to delete them. However, this does not change the fact that user records cannot be permanently deleted from Salesforce.

It's also worth noting that user records can be "archived," but this is not the same as permanently deleting them. Archiving a user record moves it to a different location in Salesforce where it can still be accessed, but it is no longer active or able to be edited. This can be useful in cases where a user record needs to be retained for compliance or historical purposes, but is no longer needed for day-to-day use.
