Answer: A

Explanation:

Option A: Data Import Wizard does not support Opportunities.

The Data Import Wizard supports importing data for certain standard objects (Accounts, Contacts, Leads, Solutions, Campaign Members, and Person Accounts) and custom objects. It does not support importing data into all standard objects like Opportunities.

Reference: "You can import data for Account, Contact, Lead, Solution, Campaign Member, and Custom Objects with the Data Import Wizard."

― Salesforce Help: Data Import Wizard Why Other Options Are Incorrect:

Option B: Data Loader does not automatically relate Opportunities to Accounts. You need to provide the AccountId when importing Opportunities.

Option C: Data Loader is a client application that you install and run on your local machine, not from a browser.

Option D: Data Import Wizard can import up to 50,000 records, so importing 500 records is within its capabilities.
