Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Canvas app with offline enabled.
Canvas apps can be enabled for offline use with Dataverse, allowing sales reps to view customer information and update order status without connectivity. Option A is incorrect because model-driven apps require online connectivity for full functionality; although offline profiles exist for mobile clients, they do not support all operations like creating new records or updating data while completely offline. Option B is incorrect because Power Pages is for external-facing websites, not offline mobile app scenarios. Option C is incorrect because AI Builder provides AI capabilities, not offline data access.
