What is a valid source and destination pair that can send or receive change sets?

  1. Sandbox to production.

  2. Developer edition to sandbox.

  3. Developer edition to production.

  4. Sandbox to sandbox.

The correct answer is: Sandbox to production.

The identified source and destination pair of sandbox to production is valid because change sets are specifically designed to deploy changes from a sandbox environment, which is often used for testing and development, to a production environment where those changes become live. This workflow is a critical aspect of managing releases and ensuring that updates are thoroughly tested before being made available to all users in the production environment. In contrast, while other options may seem plausible, they do not adhere to the specific rules surrounding change sets. For example, moving from developer edition to sandbox is not supported because developer editions are targeted for development rather than as a preparation stage for a production-like environment. Similar restrictions apply to the other options, where either the source or destination does not comply with the intended use of change sets, which fundamentally aims to safely transition changes from sandbox environments to production.
