Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Build a Power Automate portal that accepts form submissions and writes to a Dataverse table.
Why it's wrong here
Power Automate is not a portal builder; Power Pages is the correct tool.
- ✗
Use SharePoint lists to store appointments and embed the list in a Power Pages page using an iframe.
Why it's wrong here
SharePoint lists can be used but are not as tightly integrated as Dataverse; embedding requires additional work.
- ✗
Use Excel Online as the backend and connect via Power Automate to create appointments from the portal.
Why it's wrong here
Excel is not a suitable database for a web application.
- ✓
Create a new Dataverse table for appointments, then use the Power Pages 'List and Form' template to allow users to view available slots and submit bookings.
Why this is correct
This leverages built-in capabilities for data management and form creation with minimal effort.
