Correct answer & explanation
Employee self service
Employee self service (C) is the correct component because it is specifically designed to allow employees to view their own pay slips and update personal information from a mobile app. In Dynamics 365 Human Resources, the Employee self service workspace provides role-based access for employees to perform these tasks without requiring manager or HR intervention.
Key principle: Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.

Common exam traps
The trap here is that candidates may confuse Manager self service with Employee self service, assuming managers can also perform employee-level tasks, but Microsoft explicitly separates these roles to enforce data privacy and role-based access control.
Detailed technical explanation
Employee self service in Dynamics 365 Human Resources leverages the Power Apps mobile framework to provide a responsive mobile experience. The workspace is configured through security roles and privileges, ensuring that employees can only view their own data via the Employee role, while managers see aggregated team data through the Manager role. This separation is enforced by the underlying data access controls in the Common Data Service (now Microsoft Dataverse).
Key takeaway
Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.
Real-world example
A company's IT admin needs to give a contractor read-only access to production logs without sharing account credentials. Using role-based access control (RBAC) and temporary scoped permissions — not a permanent shared password — is the correct pattern. Questions like this test whether you can apply least-privilege access across cloud identity services.
