A.

In Salesforce, there are limits on the number of custom tabs, custom objects, and custom apps that can be created in an organization based on the edition of Salesforce being used. The Professional Edition has a limit of 4 custom apps and 200 custom objects.

In this scenario, the organization is already using 4 applications and 7 custom tabs, which means they have reached the limit for the number of custom apps and custom tabs. They are also using 36 custom objects, which is within the limit of 200.

The Expense Tracker app requires the use of 4 custom tabs, 3 custom objects, and one custom app. Therefore, if they try to install the Expense Tracker app, they will exceed the limit of custom tabs and custom apps.

Answer A is correct, they will not be able to complete the installation process as they have reached the maximum number of custom tabs. However, it is important to note that they are still within the limit for custom objects, so the installation would succeed for the custom objects required by the Expense Tracker app.

If they want to install the Expense Tracker app, they will need to remove some of their existing custom tabs or custom apps to stay within the limit. Alternatively, they could consider upgrading to a higher edition of Salesforce that allows for more custom tabs and custom apps.
