The correct answer is C. ISBLANK() and ISNULL().
ISBLANK() and ISNULL() are two functions in Salesforce that return the same result when used with fields of the same data type. However, they work differently for different types of fields.
ISNULL() function is used to check if a field is null or not. It is used for fields that store data in text, number, or date/time formats. For example, if you want to check if the phone number field of a lead is null or not, you can use the ISNULL() function.
ISBLANK() function is used to check if a field is blank or not. It is used for fields that store data in text, picklist, or boolean formats. For example, if you want to check if the name field of a contact is blank or not, you can use the ISBLANK() function.
BLANKVALUE() function is used to return a specified value if a field is blank or null. For example, if you want to return "N/A" if the phone number field of a lead is blank or null, you can use the BLANKVALUE() function.
LEN() function is used to return the length of a text field. For example, if you want to know the length of the description field of an account, you can use the LEN() function.
ISEMPTY() function is used to check if a collection, such as a list or a set, is empty or not. It is not used with fields. For example, if you want to check if a list of opportunities is empty or not, you can use the ISEMPTY() function.
