When you mark a field as required in Object Manager, the field is universally required to save a record on that object in the user interface. However, the field is not required to save records via the API on that object, unless you also mark it as required on the page layout.

The two correct considerations are:
B. The field is universally required to save a record on that object.
When you mark a field as required at the field level (in the Object Manager), it is enforced everywhere—including the UI, the API, and any background processes. You cannot save a record without a value in that field.
C. The field is added to every page layout on that object.
Once a field is marked as universally required, Salesforce automatically adds it to all existing and future page layouts for that object to ensure users can actually enter the mandatory data.
