    Hello Rajan,

    its system admin job to take the back of field data. EX: we are sending mail to business user that we are going to delete that custom field. There is delay in getting a response from business user ( more the 15days or 1 month) .Even though admin will take a back of field data and we can gohead with deletion. It's admin job. We can't ask him to why and what. If there is any data lost we have rights to ask system admin.

    with above points.

     i have some more points to make ANS-B stronger

    Option D-- if you delete the custom field which added already in the page layout, that spacific custom field automatically removed from Page layout after delete the field. no need to remove manually. So option D  is not in the list. 

    coming to Option A- if you restore your field old field values in to new field, that is  not a best approach. if you forget to delete the old field and value later on its  duplication and waste of memory. 

    So Option B is in the list. 

    Hope i helped you.

    hope it will clear. Mark best ANSWER if you are clear with this point.

    thabks

    karthik.
