Q: 6
You need to choose a technology to access the Web API. Which technology should you select?

A or C here. Leaning A since custom connector plus canvas app gets you real-time API calls from the UI, but C (a flow) is tempting if they wanted background processing. Option B is a trap because plug-ins can't show user results directly. Not fully sure, anyone see it picked as C elsewhere?
A imo is best if you need users to access the Web API right from the UI. Canvas apps let you use custom connectors for real-time calls, so users get immediate responses. Plug-ins and flows are more about backend or automation, not direct interaction. Might pick C if they asked for background automation but here A fits better.
Not B, A is right here. Plug-ins (B) run server-side and can't show results directly to users in the app, but a canvas app with a custom connector (A) can call external Web APIs straight from the UI. Only thing is, if it asked for automation I'd reconsider C.
If the requirement is interactive, real-time access in an app UI then A fits. Canvas apps with custom connectors let you call the Web API directly from the interface. Pretty sure that's what they're looking for here, unless there's some hidden detail.
I don’t think it’s D. Canvas app (A) feels right here since it gives direct UI access to the API and custom connectors work natively. Webhook’s more for async stuff, so A is my pick unless I missed something crucial.
Not 100% sure here, but I’d go A.
Maybe A, but the official docs and Microsoft Learn labs have this scenario too. If you're reviewing, I'd check those before deciding.
Don’t think it’s C here. Power Automate flows use connectors well, but the question seems to want direct access in a UI, which Canvas apps (A) actually provide. Webhook (D) is more for event triggers, not interaction. Pretty sure A is correct based on Microsoft docs, but open if someone sees a catch with the wording.
A is the way to go here. Canvas apps let you use custom connectors right in the UI for real-time Web API calls, which fits what the question’s after. Plug-ins and webhooks are more back-end. Unless there’s a detail I missed, A makes sense. Agree?
Feels like A. Canvas app plus custom connector is built for exactly this, lets you call the Web API as a regular function inside the app. Makes sense since user needs real-time interaction with the API. Pretty confident but open to other views.
