Why each option

To determine whether to use a canvas app or a model-driven app, key considerations include the variety of data sources required and the need for a highly customized user experience across different devices.

AWhich data sources will be used?Correct

Canvas apps support a wide array of data sources, including SharePoint, SQL Server, and Dataverse, whereas model-driven apps are built primarily on Dataverse.

BWhich Microsoft Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) users or groups will use the app?

Both canvas and model-driven apps leverage Azure AD for authentication and authorization, so this question does not differentiate between the two app types.

CWill the app be used with mobile or tablet devices?Correct

While both app types are responsive, canvas apps provide pixel-perfect control and customization over the user interface, allowing for highly optimized and specific layouts for mobile and tablet devices.

DDoes the app need to use a specific layout?

While canvas apps offer specific layout control, the question about specific device usage (C) often encompasses the need for tailored layouts, making C a more encompassing question in this context.

EWill the app builders have coding skills?

Both canvas and model-driven apps are designed for low-code/no-code development, making coding skills less of a primary differentiator between them.
