The correct answer is It needs exact page layout for printing or fixed file exports.

A paginated report is designed to produce a precise, page oriented layout that is suitable for printing and for fixed file exports such as PDF. It provides control over page breaks, headers and footers, and pixel level placement which is important when receipts and inventory listings must match a printed or archival format.

The report is expected to produce about 250000 pages is not a sufficient justification on its own because large page counts do not necessarily require a paginated layout. Very large outputs may raise performance and processing concerns but they do not define the need for fixed page formatting.

It will be viewed interactively in Looker Studio is incorrect because interactive dashboards and reports are intended for exploration and interactivity. Paginated reports are optimized for static, print friendly output rather than interactive viewing in tools like Looker Studio.

It should be a visual summary with charts and interactive elements is incorrect because a visual, interactive summary is best delivered by dashboarding tools. Paginated reports do not provide the same level of interactivity and are focused on fixed layouts for printing and export.
