What feature does Bulk API offer for handling deletion of records?

The Bulk API is specifically designed to handle large volumes of data in Salesforce efficiently. One of its key features is the ability to perform hard deletions of records. This means that when records are deleted using the Bulk API, they are permanently removed from the system without being placed in the Recycle Bin.

This hard deletion is crucial for scenarios where organizations need to ensure that sensitive data is completely removed and not retrievable. It allows for greater control over data management processes, especially when dealing with a large amount of records that need to be cleaned up or removed for compliance or data governance reasons.

The Bulk API facilitates this process by allowing users to submit large batches of delete requests in a single operation, making it an efficient choice for handling deletions as part of data migration or data cleansing efforts.

The other options describe features that do not align with the core functionality of the Bulk API in terms of deletion capabilities.
