Universal Containers (UC) needs a picklist field called Status on three separate custom objects.

When multiple objects require the same picklist values, the correct approach is to create a Global Picklist Value Set (also called a Global Value Set). This allows an organization to maintain one centralized list of picklist values that can be reused across multiple picklist fields on different objects.

Why C is correct:Exact Extract:“Global value sets let you share the same picklist values with more than one picklist field. A global value set is a set of shared values that you define once and use in multiple custom picklist fields.” — Salesforce Help | Global Value SetsThis ensures consistent data values, simplifies maintenance, and makes changes automatically available wherever the global picklist is used.

Why not A (Related Picklist):“Related Picklist” is not a valid Salesforce feature.

Why not B (Shared Custom Field):Salesforce does not provide a “Shared Custom Field” functionality. Each field belongs to a specific object.

Why not D (Dependent Picklist):Dependent picklists control available values based on another field’s value. They do not allow reuse of a single value list across multiple objects.
