Correct answer: C
Explanation
Power BI dataset refresh limits vary based on license type. A Power BI Pro license allows a maximum of 8 scheduled refreshes per day, ensuring datasets stay reasonably up to date without overloading system resources.
A scheduled refresh updates the dataset from its original data source, ensuring users see the latest data. If users require more than 8 refreshes per day, Power BI Premium is required.

A.
This is incorrect because the 12-refresh limit applies to Power BI Premium. A Pro license is capped at 8 refreshes per day, while Premium allows up to 48 refreshes per day for paginated reports and 12 for standard datasets.
B.
Power BI does not support unlimited refreshes, even in Premium. There are defined refresh limits based on the license type and service plan.
C.
A Power BI Pro license allows users to schedule up to 8 automatic dataset refreshes per day. If additional refreshes are needed, a Power BI Premium capacity is required.
D.
This answer is incorrect because Power BI Pro supports up to 8 scheduled refreshes per day, not 6. While fewer refreshes can be scheduled, the maximum limit is 8 per 24-hour period.
