A. B. C.

B.

In Salesforce, object-level security is controlled by the user's profile or permission set, which determines whether the user has access to view, create, edit, or delete records of a particular object.

If a user owns a record, it means that they are the record's owner and have full control over it, including the ability to edit, transfer ownership, or delete the record. However, if the user does not have the Read permission on the Opportunity object, they will not be able to see any details of the opportunity record, even though they own it.

So, in answer to the question, the correct answer is B. If a user owns an opportunity record but does not have the Read permission on the Opportunity object, they will not be able to see the opportunity record.

It is possible for this scenario to arise if the user was granted ownership of the record through a sharing rule or manual sharing, or if the user created the record themselves. However, it is not a common scenario, as it is generally expected that users who own records will also have the ability to view and manage them.

In summary, ownership of a record does not necessarily grant the user access to view the record, and object-level security permissions still apply regardless of record ownership.
