Correct answer & explanation
✓
Canvas app
Canvas apps allow you to design a custom user interface by dragging and dropping elements onto a blank canvas, giving you full control over the layout and appearance. They connect to a wide range of data sources, such as SharePoint, Excel, or SQL Server, and are ideal for building task-specific or role-specific applications quickly.
