Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
Standard connector: Connector that connects to commonly used services (e.g., Office 365, SharePoint) and is included with Power Automate.
Standard connectors are free and cover common services; Premium connectors require a paid license; Custom connectors allow custom API integration; On-premises connectors use a data gateway. Common confusions include swapping definitions between Standard and Premium, or confusing Custom with Standard.
