Explanation

Power BI is purpose-built for large-scale data analytics and can handle millions of records efficiently using DirectQuery or Import modes, and supports long-running data refreshes. Model-driven app Standard dashboards (B) and Interactive dashboards (C) are limited in the volume of data they can process and the time queries can run - they are not designed for 5M+ record datasets or multi-minute query durations. When report requirements exceed the built-in dashboard capabilities of a model-driven app, embedding or linking a Power BI report is the correct architectural choice.
