Why each option

Since similar custom reports will be needed for future executive meetings, setting up a recurring delivery method is the most efficient approach to automate their generation and distribution.

AAd hoc

Ad hoc reports are created for specific, one-time requests and are not suitable for ongoing, repetitive needs.

BReal-time

Real-time reports provide up-to-the-minute data but do not inherently describe a delivery method for repeated, scheduled requests for executive meetings.

CRecurringCorrect

A recurring report delivery method automates the generation and distribution of reports at predefined intervals (e.g., weekly, monthly). This is ideal when the same type of report is needed repeatedly for regular meetings, reducing manual effort for the analyst.

DSelf-service

Self-service allows users to create their own reports, but the question states the analyst is generating custom reports and needs a delivery method for future executive meetings, implying automation rather than shifting the burden to the CEO.
