For on-premises data sources we need a data gateway. We have a Microsoft Excel file on a file server, so the answer is C.

I will vote for option C but just as is the one it does more sense to me. File is on a file server but it's not clearly stated this file server is in a local network (not the usual, but in case it would be reachable in a DMZ, would it requires on-premises GW?). Subscription option would just keep users informed of updates, and right credentials are are also implicitely supposed to be already in place since the moment the table was imported first time.

La respuesta correcta es: C. Implementar una puerta de enlace de datos local. Para garantizar que los datos en tu informe de Power BI se actualicen cada cuatro horas, necesitas implementar una puerta de enlace de datos local. Esta puerta de enlace permite que Power BI se conecte a fuentes de datos locales, como el archivo de Excel en tu servidor de archivos, y habilita actualizaciones programadas para tu conjunto de datos en Power BI. La opción A (Cargar el archivo de Excel en un espacio de trabajo de Power BI) no es necesaria para lograr una actualización programada. Las opciones B (Crear una suscripción al informe) y D (Editar las credenciales de la fuente de datos) no están directamente relacionadas con la configuración de la actualización programada de los datos. La puerta de enlace de datos local es el componente clave en este escenario.

There are four types of storage mode, 1. import, 2. DirectQuery, 3. LiveConnect, 4. Push. In this case, "Microsoft Excel file on a file server." means data source that reside on-premises. Therefore, to refresh the data, we must first connect the dataset with on-premises data gateway. This question looks like a refresh question, but actually a data connection question
