 Scratch orgs are short-term Salesforce environments that you can spin up to work on a feature. They are source-driven and disposable, meaning you can create and delete them as needed. They are fully configurable, allowing you to emulate different Salesforce editions with different features and settings. You can also install packages and deploy synthetic or dummy data for testing. Scratch orgs are ideal for developing in a source-driven way, as they enable source tracking, which keeps your local source files and the metadata in your org in sync. You can use Salesforce CLI or an IDE to create, open, and manage scratch orgs. Scratch orgs are different from other types of Salesforce orgs, such as Developer sandboxes, Full Copy sandboxes, and Developer orgs, which are long-term, persistent, and not source-driven. References:

 To calculate the estimated ship date for an Order, the best method is to use a Max Roll-Up Summary field on the Latest availability date fields. A Roll-Up Summary field calculates values from related records, such as the sum, minimum, maximum, or count of a field1. By using a Max Roll-Up Summary field on the Latest availability date fields, the Order record can display the latest date among all the Line Items, which is the earliest date that the Order can be shipped.

The other options are not correct because:

• A. Use a CEILING formula on each of the Latest availability date fields. This option is not valid, because a CEILING formula rounds a number up to the nearest integer2. This does not help to calculate the estimated ship date for an Order, as it does not compare the dates of the Line Items or display the result on the Order record.
• B. Use a DAYS formula on each of the availability date fields and a COUNT Roll-Up Summary field on the Order. This option is not valid, because a DAYS formula returns the number of days between two dates2. This does not help to calculate the estimated ship date for an Order, as it does not account for the latest date among the Line Items or display the result on the Order record. A COUNT Roll-Up Summary field only counts the number of related records, not the values of a field1.
• C. Use a LATEST formula on each of the latest availability date fields. This option is not valid, because there is no such formula function as LATEST in Salesforce2. Even if there was, it would not help to calculate the estimated ship date for an Order, as it would not display the result on the Order record.

Marking the field as Required on the field definition ensures that the field cannot be left blank or null when a record is created or updated, regardless of the page layout or the API. This is the most efficient way to enforce a value for the picklist field, as it does not require any additional configuration or code. Setting the first value as the default value does not prevent the user from changing or clearing the value. Setting a validation rule requires writing a formula and handling error messages. Marking the field as Required on the page layout only affects the user interface, not the API or other tools. References:
