Question 1 of 30
In a Salesforce application, a developer is tasked with optimizing the performance of a trigger that processes account records. The trigger is currently set to execute on both insert and update events. The developer notices that the trigger is firing multiple times for a single transaction, leading to performance issues. To address this, the developer considers implementing a trigger best practice that involves the use of a static variable to prevent recursive calls. Which approach should the developer take to effectively manage the trigger execution and ensure it adheres to best practices?
Use a static variable to track whether the trigger has already executed for the current transaction and prevent further execution if it has.
Implement a separate trigger for updates only, while keeping the insert trigger intact.
Use a custom setting to control the execution of the trigger based on specific criteria.
Remove the trigger entirely and rely on process builder for handling account updates.
