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
✓
The site settings for web templates are misconfigured
Misconfigured site settings (such as page permissions or template assignment) can prevent web templates from rendering in Power Pages. Option A is wrong because basic authentication is not required for web templates to load. Option C is wrong because if the Dataverse environment were not provisioned, the site would not have been created from a starter template; web templates are configured via site settings, not directly dependent on Dataverse provisioning. Option D is wrong because a custom domain is not necessary for web templates to function; the default domain works fine.
