Correct answer & explanation
✓
Canvas app
Anvas app (D). Canvas apps provide a flexible, mobile-friendly interface with drag-and-drop controls and built-in support for camera integration, making them ideal for capturing receipt photos. Model-driven apps are form-centric and less customizable for unique layouts. Power Apps portals are designed for external users, not internal employees. Power Automate is a workflow automation tool, not an app type.
