Explanation

A static report presents data as a fixed snapshot at a specific point in time - it does not update after it is generated. Since the Q2 numbers are already finalized before the July 15 board meeting, there is no need for live or refreshing data. A real-time report (B) continuously pulls live data, which is unnecessary here. A self-service report (C) allows users to query data themselves, which is more than needed for a board presentation. A dynamic report (D) updates automatically, which is not required for a finalized historical review.
