Which statement best describes Lightning Chart?

• A. It is a security role
• B. It is a data visualization tool for reports
• C. It is a data model
• D. It is a data sink

Answer: (B)

Lightning Chart is the data visualization tool that turns report data into graphical charts in Salesforce Lightning. It takes values from a report—such as totals by category, trends over time, or other groupings—and renders charts like bars, lines, or pies so you can quickly grasp patterns and comparisons. This is a presentation layer for data that already exists in reports, helping you interpret information at a glance. It isn’t a security role, a data model, or a data sink—the former governs access, the latter defines structure or storage for data—so the chart’s purpose is to visualize and communicate insights from your reports.
