C. Create a category.
Explanation
This item tests the candidate’s knowledge of configuring Dataverse business events.
The Dataverse connector contains a trigger named When an action is performed. This trigger will cause a flow to be initiated when a business event is called. A custom API can be defined as a business event by specifying both a catalog and category. The trigger filters on catalog and category to help the maker find the relevant business event. Catalog and category are mandatory for business events, and you will need to create the catalog and category for the custom API. The Dataverse connector only supports custom APIs as actions, not as functions. The BusinessEventContract class is used for custom business events in finance and operations apps, not in Dataverse. Custom APIs do not require a step to be registered for the plug-in assembly.
