The distributors at Cloud Kicks are eligible for support based on a specific service contract-How should the administrator show this in Salesforce?

Entitlement management is the Salesforce feature specifically designed to help you define, enforce, and track customer support levels as part of a service agreement. It includes features like service contracts, entitlements, and milestones to ensure customers receive the correct level of support. While a service contract is part of the solution, "entitlement management" represents the entire feature set needed to implement and manage the support eligibility described in the scenario. It allows administrators to specify the type and level of support a customer is eligible for.

B. Adding a service contract is a necessary step, but it only represents the agreement. Entitlements are needed to define the specific support levels.
C. Turning on Service Cloud is a prerequisite to access these features, but it is not the action that solves the specific business requirement.
D. Salesforce provides standard objects for this functionality. Building a custom object would be redundant and would not integrate with standard case processes.
