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
✓
Schedule - Recurrence
The correct trigger for a flow that runs on a schedule (every Monday at 9 AM) is the 'Schedule - Recurrence' trigger. Option A ('When an item is created') is an event-based trigger that runs when an item is added to a list, not on a schedule. Option B ('Power Apps button') is a manual trigger that requires user interaction. Option D ('When a new email arrives') is an event-based trigger that runs when an email arrives. Therefore, only option C meets the requirement.
