A validation rule is a formula that validates the data entered by a user and prevents the record from being saved if the data does not meet certain criteria. In this case, the administrator can create a validation rule to ensure that the custom encrypted field for credit card numbers has exactly 16 digits. The other options are not applicable for encrypted fields. References: &type=5 &type=5

When deploying profiles using change sets, the field-level security settings are not included unless the fields themselves are also part of the change set. Therefore, the administrator should consider adding the new custom fields to change set 2 along with the profiles, or manually adjust the field-level security after deployment. References: &type=5

The field is being updated by a workflow field update is why records are being updated with data that violates the validation rule. A workflow field update is a way to automatically change the value of a field when a workflow rule evaluates to true. A workflow field update can bypass validation rules and other security controls when updating a field value, which can result in invalid data being stored in the record.

Building a process that updates the record type field to B2C Customer after conversion will correct this issue. The conversion layout for person accounts does not allow selecting different record types for accounts and contacts. The default record type for person accounts is determined by the organization-wide default settings. However, a process can be triggered after conversion to update the record type field based on the lead record type or other criteria. References: &type=5 &type=5
