A detail page button in Salesforce is specifically designed to perform actions related to the record being viewed. The correct utilization of a detail page button is to invoke a custom report, which allows users to execute an action that produces results relevant to the current record context. This means that when a user is viewing a record, they can click the detail page button to generate a specific report that may, for example, summarize activities or opportunities associated with that record.

The other options do not fit the typical purpose of a detail page button. Editing a field on an account page usually involves inline editing or accessing a dedicated edit screen rather than using a button. Sending an email directly from the detail page would typically utilize a separate email action or functionality rather than a detail page button. Creating a new account involves invoking a different process that usually utilizes a new record creation button or page, rather than being tied to the specific context of a detail page for a specific record.
