A. B. C. D. E.Correct Answers:C and E
Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) includes the governance, development, and maintenance of applications.
The ALM application to the Power Apps, Power Automate, and Dataverse specifies the following concepts: Solution - the package of the components that can be distributed between environments.
The Dataverse's role - the main storage of all artifacts, including the solution.
All Power Platform environments following the ALM must use the Dataverse database.
Source Control - using source control management tools for storing the solutions' and components' descriptions and code.
The solution is a file that can include various components, like tables, fields, apps, site maps, flows, etc.
These components are extensions or/and modifications of the Dataverse database.
Developers can create these extensions, package them, and distribute them as solutions.
There are two types of solutions: unmanaged and managed.
Unmanaged solutions are modifications that developers create in the development environment.
When you need to remove the custom component from an unmanaged solution, you need to assess the component's dependencies.
You can select the component in a solutions browser, like a Customer table (Number 1), and click on the “Show dependencies” button in the top menu (Number 2).

The Power Apps portal opens a new screen with the Dependencies for the Customer table.
The screen is divided into two sections: the Dependent components (Number 1) and the Required components (Number 2)
You cannot remove a component from an unmanaged solution, like the Customer table, before resolving the dependency of the other components on the component that you want to remove.

All other options are incorrect.

In order to remove a custom table from an unmanaged solution, you need to resolve any component dependencies that exist. Component dependencies refer to any other components that rely on the custom table you are trying to delete. Resolving these dependencies means identifying and either removing or modifying any components that reference the custom table, so that they no longer rely on it.
The two component types that you need to resolve before you can delete a table are:
System components: These are components that are part of the Power Platform platform itself, and that cannot be modified or deleted. Any dependencies on a custom table from a system component must be removed or modified in order to delete the custom table. For example, if a workflow or plugin relies on the custom table, you will need to modify the workflow or plugin to remove the dependency before you can delete the custom table.
Dependent components: These are components that have a direct dependency on the custom table you want to delete. For example, if a form or view references the custom table, you will need to remove or modify the form or view to remove the dependency before you can delete the custom table. Other types of dependent components might include business rules, charts, dashboards, or reports.
It's worth noting that the other answer choices (administrative, internal, required) are not correct because they do not refer to specific types of components that you need to resolve in order to delete a custom table.
