Explanation:

Supports complex calculated columns (with aggregate functions, calculated tables, MDX hierarchies).
Minimizes page rendering times.
Step 1 - Choosing the Mode
Direct Lake # Best for near real-time queries, avoids duplication, but has limitations (e.g., some complex calculated columns, MDX user hierarchies are not fully supported).
DirectQuery # Sends queries to the source each time. It supports complex expressions but is slow (not optimal for minimizing page rendering times).
Import # Data is loaded into VertiPaq in-memory engine, supports full DAX capabilities, calculated tables, MDX hierarchies, and provides fastest query performance.
# Correct choice: Import.
Step 2 - Choosing Query Caching
Capacity default # Relies on the workspace/capacity setting.
Off # Disables caching, which could slow down report rendering.
On # Ensures queries are cached for faster page rendering times.
# Correct choice: On.
Final Answer:
Mode: Import
Query Caching: On
