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

The server license status.
Why it's wrong here
License status impacts global search capability, not individual app visibility.

Why it's wrong here
While useful, permissions are the most common cause for missing objects.
- ✓
The app permissions in 'Manage Apps'.
