Q: 7
A company is implementing Dynamics 365 Sales.
The company has turned off out-of-the-box quote calculations in order to implement its own custom
calculations.
When users update a line item on a quote, they expect to see an updated total for the quote in real
time. Users are reporting inconsistent behavior, with some aggregations taking up to two hours.
You review the system design and notice many asynchronous workflows.
You need to recommend a solution to enable the calculation in real time.
Which two options should you recommend? Each answer presents a complete solution.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

Its A and D. Had something like this in a mock, only the synchronous workflows or plug-ins handle real-time updates after a line item changes. B stays async so won't fix it.
A vs D. If you need rollback within the transaction, only D (synchronous plug-in) truly guarantees that, not just any real-time workflow.
A and D work because they're both synchronous, so they update the totals instantly after you change the line item. Async workflows (B) still run in the background and will always be delayed, so that's not real-time. Not totally sure if there's any edge case I missed, but pretty confident here. Agree?
A and D imo, only those give real-time updates since they're both synchronous. B doesn't fix the lag issue in this context.
B tbh, consolidating into one async workflow might seem faster, but async won't give true real-time updates here. Trap option.
A and D tbh, only those two are actually synchronous so the totals update for the user instantly. B still stays async, so you get the same delay as before. Not 100% if there could be some weird case with rollback, but for what they're asking, A and D make sense.
A D
Super clear scenario, matches what I’ve seen in some practice sets.
