According to the exam guide, one of the objectives is to "describe the use cases and considerations for using various tools and techniques for data migration (for example, Data Loader, Bulk API)"1. This implies that option B is the correct way to extract large volumes of data from Salesforce. The Bulk API is designed to handle large-scale data operations and avoid timeouts. Option A is not correct because the SOAP API is not optimized for large data sets and may encounter limits. Option C is not correct because GZIP compression does not prevent timeouts, but rather reduces the size of the data transferred. Option D is not correct because Batch Apex is used to process records asynchronously in Salesforce, not to export data to an external system.
