Explanation

Two distinct audiences require two different components. Internal employees need an app that connects to the existing Azure SQL database with built-in process functionality - a Canvas app (C) can connect directly to Azure SQL via the SQL connector and supports embedded business logic and workflows. External customers need a secure, authenticated portal to view their own data - Power Pages (A) is Microsoft's external-facing portal solution built on Power Platform that supports external user authentication and controlled data access. Model-driven apps (D) require Dataverse and do not connect natively to Azure SQL. Custom pages (B) are embedded within model-driven apps and are not a standalone solution for external users.
