Why each option

An ad hoc report is best described as a one-time report created for a specific, immediate purpose, rather than a regularly scheduled or recurring report.

AA one-time reportCorrect

An ad hoc report is generated in response to a specific, non-routine business question or requirement, typically on a one-off basis. It is created as needed, often by end-users, to address an immediate analytical need without following a predefined schedule or format.

BA recurring report

A recurring report is scheduled to run at regular intervals (daily, weekly, monthly), which is the opposite of an ad hoc report.

CA tactical report

A tactical report refers to the level of strategy it supports (short-term decision making), but doesn't define if it's one-time or recurring.

DA monthly report

A monthly report is a type of recurring report, which contradicts the definition of an ad hoc report.
