Why each option

To enable Q&A for a dataset connected live to Azure Analysis Services, you must explicitly activate the Q&A feature from the dataset's settings within the Power BI service.

AFrom the Power BI service, add an enterprise gateway to the dataset.

An enterprise gateway is used for connecting to on-premises data sources, not for enabling Q&A for a dataset that is already connected live to Azure Analysis Services in the cloud.

BFrom Power BI Desktop, add synonyms and suggested questions.
CFrom Power BI Desktop, add a Q&A visual to the report.
DFrom the Power Bi service, select Turn on Q& A for this dataset.Correct

For Q&A functionality to be available in the Power BI service for any dataset, including those connected live to Azure Analysis Services, the Q&A feature must be explicitly turned on from the settings of that specific dataset within the Power BI service.
