A regional bank wants a low-code platform for building secure, external-facing business websites that customers reach across browsers and devices. Which Microsoft Power Platform component is designed for this purpose?

  • APower Automate, for orchestrating automated business workflows and cloud flows
  • BPower Pages, for creating, hosting, and administering external-facing business sites Correct
  • CPower Apps, for building no-code and low-code custom mobile and web apps
  • DCopilot Studio, for publishing AI-driven conversational chatbot experiences
Power Pages is the Power Platform component for building secure external-facing business websites that work across browsers and devices. Power Pages is described as a secure, enterprise-grade, low-code SaaS platform for creating, hosting, and administering modern external-facing business websites that work across web browsers and devices.

Why A is wrong: Power Automate is a real Power Platform component, but it builds automated workflows and cloud flows rather than hosting external-facing business websites, so it does not fit the bank's need.

Why B is correct: Correct. Power Pages is described as a secure, enterprise-grade, low-code SaaS platform for creating, hosting, and administering modern external-facing business websites that work across web browsers and devices.

Why C is wrong: Power Apps builds custom mobile and web apps to collect and share data; it is suited to internal apps and intranets, whereas Power Pages targets secure external-facing websites.

Why D is wrong: Copilot Studio creates and publishes chatbot experiences and can be added to a site, but it is not itself the platform for building external-facing business websites.
