A. B. C. D. E.Correct Answer: D
Application Insights is the feature of Azure Monitor.
It can help makers and developers to collect and analyze the canvas app telemetry.
Application Insights provides information like the number of sessions, number of the logged events, number of app users.
Developers can even trace the app's event executions by incorporating the Trace command within the app's code.
Then they can work with Azure Logs and Kusto to analyze the Trace output.
Or makers and developers might use Power BI for a visual representation of the Trace results.
Before analyzing the results, you need to provision a new Application Insights resource in Azure Portal.
After creating the new resource, you find and copy the Instrumentation key on the Application Insights' Overview panel.

This key is the link between your canvas app and Application Insights.
When you open your canvas app for editing and select the App object in a Tree view, you will see the Instrumentation key field on the right App properties panel.
After you paste the key, save and publish the canvas app.
Whenever somebody plays the app, the Power Platform sends the telemetry to the Application Insights.

All other options are incorrect.
For more information about integrating the Application Insights with canvas apps, please visit the below URLs:
To stream data from a canvas app to Application Insights, you need to provide the Instrumentation key. The instrumentation key is a unique key that is generated when you create an Application Insights resource in Azure.
The instrumentation key is a GUID that identifies the Application Insights resource to which the data is being sent. When you add the instrumentation key to your canvas app, it enables the app to send telemetry data to the Application Insights resource for monitoring and analysis.
The other options listed are not relevant to streaming data from a canvas app to Application Insights.
A connection string is a parameter string that contains the necessary connection information to access a data source or service. This is not needed to stream data to Application Insights.
An Azure subscription ID is a unique identifier for an Azure subscription. It is used to manage resources within the subscription but is not required to stream data to Application Insights.
An endpoint URL is the URL where a web service or API can be accessed. This is not needed to stream data to Application Insights.
A shared access signature (SAS) is a token that is used to authenticate and authorize access to Azure storage resources. This is not needed to stream data to Application Insights.
