Explanation
Options C and E are correct because they use valid Discovery API endpoints that return instance access information for the authenticated user. Option E (globaldisco.crm.dynamics.com) is the Global Discovery Service endpoint, which returns all Dynamics 365/Dataverse instances the signed-in user has access to across every region - the most direct way to audit access. Option C uses the Instances(UniqueName='myorg') OData key syntax against a regional discovery endpoint, which queries for a specific named instance and returns its details only if the caller has access, making it a valid single-instance access check.
Why the distractors fail:
- A (
/api/data/v9.1/) is the Web API (OData) endpoint for querying data inside a known org, not for discovering which orgs a user can reach. - B uses
dev.crm.dynamics.com, which is not a valid discovery service hostname; the regional discovery host isdisco.crm.dynamics.com. - D (
disco.crm.dynamics.com/api/discovery/v9.1/) is missing the/Instancessegment, so it returns the OData service document rather than the instance list.
Memory tip: Think "Global disco = global access list; UniqueName = verify one specific instance." If you see globaldisco → it lists everything you can touch; if you see Instances(UniqueName='...') → it pinpoints one org by name.
