Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
'When a new email arrives' trigger and 'Create file' action
'When a new email arrives' trigger initiates the flow for each incoming email, and the 'Create file' action can save attachments to a OneDrive folder. Option B is incorrect because 'Send an email' action would send an email, not create a file. Option C is incorrect because 'When an item is created' trigger is for SharePoint or similar, not for email. Option D is incorrect because 'When a file is created' trigger and 'Start an approval' action do not relate to copying email attachments.
