Explanation

A scheduled refresh lets you define specific days and times for Power BI to pull updated data from the source. Configuring it to run on the 1st of each month at a set time ensures last month's closed sales data is loaded on that schedule. Incremental refresh (B) is a strategy to refresh only newly changed partitions of a large table - it optimizes how data is loaded but still depends on a scheduled refresh trigger; it does not define when the refresh runs. A Power Automate flow (C) can trigger a refresh via API but adds unnecessary complexity for a simple monthly schedule. An on-premises data gateway (D) is required when the data source is on a local network, not for configuring when a refresh occurs.
