In a Private sharing model36, record access is restricted to the own37er and users38 above them in the role hierarchy. To grant access to a user identified in a specific field (like a lookup), you need a dynamic sharing mechanism. Apex Managed Sharing (Option A) is the correct choice here because it allows a developer to programmatically create share records based on the value of the lookup field. When the Interviewer lookup is populated, a trigger can insert a record into the Candidate__Share object, granting the specified user 'Read' access.

Sharing rules (Option C) are generally too rigid for this scenario because they typically share records based on a static criteria or ownership, rather than a dynamic lookup to a User. Permission sets (Option B) grant object-level and field-level permissions but do not grant access to specific records that a user does not own in a Private OWD environment. Using Apex provides the necessary automation to ensure that as the interviewer changes, the sharing access is updated in real-time, maintaining a secure but functional interview process.
