PL-900 Practice Question: Manage the Microsoft Power Platform environment

Exhibit

Refer to the exhibit. {
  "properties": {
    "environmentType": "Production",
    "linkedEnvironmentMetadata": {
      "resourceId": "/providers/Microsoft.PowerApps/environments/...",
      "friendlyName": "Development Sandbox",
      "type": "Sandbox"
    },
    "sdkUrls": {
      "environmentUrl": "https://org123.crm.dynamics.com"
    }
  }
}

Refer to the exhibit. The JSON shows a Power Platform environment's properties in an ARM template. Based on the exhibit, which statement about this environment is true?

⚠ Common exam trap

Watch out — candidates often assume a Production environment cannot be linked to a Sandbox environment, or they confuse the 'environmentType' value with the linked environment's type, leading them to incorrectly select Option C or D.

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

✓

This environment is a Production environment linked to a Sandbox environment.

The exhibit shows an ARM template with properties including 'environmentType': 'Production' and 'linkedEnvironmentId' referencing a Sandbox environment. This indicates the Production environment is linked to a Sandbox environment for data synchronization or development purposes, which is a common configuration in Power Platform for lifecycle management. The presence of a linked environment ID confirms it is not standalone, and the environment type is Production, not Sandbox.

Answer analysis

Option-by-option breakdown

For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.

✗
This environment is a Standalone environment without any linked environments.
Why it's wrong here
The linkedEnvironmentMetadata indicates a linked sandbox.
✓
This environment is a Production environment linked to a Sandbox environment.
Why this is correct
The environmentType is Production, and linkedEnvironmentMetadata shows a Sandbox.
✗
This environment is a Sandbox environment linked to a Dynamics 365 instance.
Why it's wrong here
The environmentType is Production, not Sandbox.
✗
This environment is a Production environment with no data storage.
Why it's wrong here
The environmentUrl suggests it has a Dynamics 365 instance, so data storage is present.
