Explanation
Detailed breakdown of the correct answer
Analytics and Reports
Salesforce provides standard report types designed specifically to track changes in key sales fields.
Therefore, the correct answer is: Create an 'Opportunity History' report type. This standard report type automatically calculates Stage Duration and allows grouping by region and stage to obtain averages without additional complex configuration.
The option that says: Field History Tracking is incorrect because although it tracks changes, it doesn't provide duration metrics (elapsed days) natively in reports as directly as opportunity history does.
The option that says: Historical Trending is incorrect because it is limited to comparing current state with specific dates (up to 8 fields and 5 periods), it's not ideal for full lifecycle averages.
The option that says: Analytic Snapshot is incorrect because it is used for long-term data trends by capturing point-in-time data, not for calculating stage residence in real-time.
