After the registration, you can verify this plugin in the Power Apps classic interface under the Default Solution (Number 1) and Plug-in Assemblies sub-section (Number 2)
In the plug-in browser, you can see just the registered assembly and its information (Number 3).

You can also query the PluginAssemblies table using the Dataverse Web API, like
GET https://yourorg.crm.dynamics.com/api/data/v9.2/pluginassemblies?$select=createdon,culture,customizationlevel,description, isolationmode,major,minor,modifiedon,name,pluginassemblyid,publickeytoken,version,content&$filter=name eq ‘FollowupPlugin'
The query result includes information about the plug-in, like a description (Number 1) and a name (Number 2) plus the binary code in the Content column (Number 3).

All other options are incorrect.

When you register a plug-in assembly using the Plug-in Registration Tool in Dataverse, the information about the assembly and its binary image is stored in the PluginAssembly table in the Dataverse database.
The PluginAssembly table is a system table that contains information about all the assemblies that have been registered in the Dataverse instance. It has a one-to-many relationship with the PluginType table, which contains information about the individual plug-ins that are part of the assembly.
The PluginAssembly table has several columns that contain information about the registered assembly, including the following:
- AssemblyId: A globally unique identifier (GUID) that identifies the assembly in Dataverse.
- Name: The name of the assembly, as specified when the assembly was registered.
- SourceType: The type of the assembly, such as a .NET assembly or a custom workflow activity.
- Culture: The culture of the assembly, such as "en-US" or "fr-CA".
- PublicKeyToken: The public key token of the assembly, which is used to verify the assembly's authenticity.
- Content: The binary image of the assembly, which is stored as a base64-encoded string.
- IsolationMode: The isolation mode that is used when the plug-in is executed, such as sandbox or none.
- Version: The version number of the assembly.
In summary, the information about the assembly and its binary image is stored in the PluginAssembly table, and the relevant column that stores the binary image is called "Content".
