PL-900 Practice Question: Which TWO of the following are components of…
Which TWO of the following are components of Power Platform? (Choose two.)
⚠ Common exam trap
Watch out — candidates often confuse data sources or integration tools (like SharePoint or Excel) with actual Power Platform components, leading them to select those as answers instead of the core services Power Apps and Power BI.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Power Apps
Power Apps (C) is a core Power Platform component, providing a low-code/no-code canvas and model-driven app development environment that connects to data sources via connectors and the Dataverse. Power BI (E) is also a core Power Platform component, delivering business analytics, interactive dashboards, and reports built on the Power BI service and Desktop. Together with Power Automate and Power Virtual Agents (now Copilot Studio), these make up the Microsoft Power Platform suite. SharePoint (A), Teams (B), and Excel (D) are not Power Platform components; they are separate Microsoft 365 services/applications that can integrate with Power Platform (e.g., as connectors or data sources) but are not part of the platform itself.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
SharePoint
Why it's wrong here
SharePoint is a Microsoft 365 collaboration service that connectors can reach, but it is not itself a Power Platform component. It is tempting because Power Apps and Power Automate integrate with SharePoint lists and libraries, so it would be correct if the question asked which external data source connectors commonly support.
- ✗
Teams
Why it's wrong here
Teams is a Microsoft 365 collaboration hub, not a Power Platform component, so it fails this two-part selection. It is tempting because Power Apps and Power Automate embed directly into Teams channels and chats, but that integration makes Teams a consumption surface for the platform rather than one of its building components.
- ✓
Power Apps
Why this is correct
Power Apps is a core Power Platform component, providing a low-code canvas and model-driven environment for building custom business applications that connect to data sources such as Dataverse. It satisfies the stem's requirement by being one of the platform's primary services, alongside Power Automate, Power BI and Power Virtual Agents.
- ✗
Excel
Why it's wrong here
Excel is a Microsoft 365 application, not a Power Platform component, so it cannot be selected here. It is tempting because Power Apps and Power BI both surface spreadsheet-style tabular data, and Excel connectors let flows read workbooks, but the platform's actual components are Power Apps, Power Automate, Power BI, Power Pages and Copilot Studio.
- ✓
Power BI
Why this is correct
Power BI is a core Power Platform component, delivering business analytics and interactive dashboards. It satisfies the stem's requirement by being one of the platform's primary services, alongside Power Apps, Power Automate, Power Pages and Copilot Studio. Its inclusion reflects Microsoft's positioning of Power BI within the unified Power Platform suite.
