Which statement is true for a partial sandbox compared to a full sandbox?

  1. More frequent refreshes

  2. Includes all necessary metadata

  3. Use of change sets

  4. Limited to 5 GB of data

The correct answer is: More frequent refreshes

For a partial sandbox, the correct understanding involves the frequency of refreshes compared to a full sandbox. A partial sandbox indeed permits more frequent refreshes than a full sandbox. This is particularly useful for development and testing purposes, as it allows developers to frequently update their testing environment with a new set of data while maintaining a balance between storage limitations and the relevance of data. While the other options provide valuable points about the characteristics of sandboxes, they do not accurately compare the features of partial and full sandboxes in this context. Full sandboxes can be refreshed less frequently and include all existing metadata, while the ability to utilize change sets is not specific to the differences between the types of sandboxes. The limitation of data storage in a partial sandbox to 5 GB of data is essential to note, but it does not relate directly to the refresh rate aspect. Thus, the statement regarding refresh frequencies stands out as the most accurate comparison.
