What should you do?

This question again. As I mentioned here (https://www.examtopics.com/discussions/microsoft/view/122040-exam-pl-400-topic-2-question-47-discussion/) Answer should be: Create a plug-in that uses the CalculateRollupFieldRequest method for the rollup field. Configure a step on the Create event for the policy entity for this plug-in However, as that is not an option here. We should go with the only option that mentions a plug-in because that is the way that we can ensure a synchronous immediate recalculation of the field. So, option C. (We assume that the plug-in uses CalculateRollupFieldRequest)

Still I don't understand the need for to create new fields. By the sound, insurance policies are child records to customer (contact), therefore you need a plugin to trigger the calculation immediately.
