There are no dashboards in Power BI Desktop. So both answers should be only Power BI service. Ref: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/fundamentals/service-service-vs-desktop

Dashboards are created in Power BI service (only). Visualizations can be created with either Power BI Desktop or Power BI service. See https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/fundamentals/service-service-vs-desktop

Power BI Desktop or Power BI Service as both of them allow visualizations. Power BI Service, only it can use gateway.

People are concentrating way too hard on “dashboards” when the question asks about creating “VISUALIZATIONS” ... Power Bi Desktop contains visualizations , so is not automatically written off as an answer

1. Include a dashboard that shows all currently active quotes, their status in the sales cycle, the probability of closing, and estimated manufacturing and installation dates, by customer, product division, status, and salesperson. Requires transformation/aggregation the data, so I believe Desktop is correct

Both Service, Dashboards can not be created in Power BI Desktop. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/create-reports/service-dashboard-create link to support. "Dashboards are a feature of the Power BI service, not Power BI Desktop. Although you don't create dashboards in the Power BI mobile apps, you can view and share there"

The question is where you create visualizations, not Dashboards.

You should not just read the question, but also the information provided by the case study, which says "Include a dashboard that shows all currently active quotes, their status in the sales cycle, the probability of closing, and estimated manufacturing and installation dates, by customer, product division, status, and salesperson."

Sales data will be stored in CDS so you need PowerBi desktop. For manufacturing report, data is stored in on-prem SQL server so you need to use a gateway. For gateway connections, you need PowerBi service.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/fundamentals/service-service-vs-desktop Microsoft puts Gateways in the Service only circle, so answer is Service not both.

The Sales have a onpremise SQL server, so then it would need PowerBI service right? https://docs.microsoft.com/nl-nl/power-bi/fundamentals/service-service-vs-desktop

Power BI desktop can connect to SQL server. You indeed need a gateway if you want to connect to an on-prem SQL service from the Power BI service, so you could say both can be used. However, this gateway needs to be installed so Power BI service can not be used stand-alone. In fact, you might also need Power BI desktop to setup the whole thing (can't confirm this, but below tutorial appears to suggest that). https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/connect-data/service-gateway-sql-tutorial To setup a connection with Dataverse and be able to create the visualizations you also have to use Power BI desktop initially. You can use Power BI service after publication but I don't see how it can be used by itself to do this.

I would have thought the answer for both would be Power BI desktop, because you can't create a dataset that connects to Common Data Service (where the data is stored) from Power BI Service

No, I just re-read the question, and the manufacturing data is in SQL Server, which you can connect to from Power BI Service.
