Explanation

The 'Generate an app from data' feature in Power Apps can connect directly to an Excel workbook stored in OneDrive for Business and automatically scaffold a three-screen canvas app (browse, detail, and edit screens) based on the spreadsheet's structure. This is the intended Power Apps feature for this scenario. Power Apps Checker (C) is a governance/analysis tool, not an app builder. 'Open entity data in Excel' (D) is a Dynamics 365/Dataverse feature for editing entity records in Excel, not for building apps. Custom actions in Common Data Service (B) are for extending model-driven apps, not canvas apps from Excel.
