Explanation

Adding instructions to dashboards serves as built-in guidance for end users, helping them understand the dashboard's purpose, how to interpret the data, or how to interact with specific panels - making C correct. Option A is wrong because alert messages are configured separately through alerting rules and notification policies, not dashboard instructions. Option B is incorrect because troubleshooting charts and alerts involves tools like the query inspector or alert debug views, not instruction text. Option D is wrong because data links are configured at the panel or field level, unrelated to dashboard-level instruction content. Memory tip: Think of dashboard instructions as a "README for your dashboard" - just like a README guides a developer through a repo, instructions guide a viewer through the dashboard.
