Explanation

Power Automate is the correct mechanism for orchestrating this end-to-end workflow: monitoring resume submissions (e.g., from email or SharePoint), parsing the content (using AI Builder or other connectors), and saving structured contact and skills data to Common Data Service (Dataverse). It provides built-in triggers, connectors, and CDS integration without custom code. Option B (CDS plug-in) runs within the CDS platform context in response to data events - it is not suited for monitoring external file submissions. Option C (Web API) is for making direct HTTP calls to CDS and would require custom code to build the full pipeline. Option D (Custom workflow activity) is a Dynamics 365 server-side extension and is not designed for parsing external files or monitoring submissions.
