Explanation

In a Descriptive Flexfield (DFF), the Context field (A) holds a value that directly determines which set of context-sensitive segments is displayed to the user - it is the primary driver of context selection. The Reference field (C) is a database column whose value can be mapped to automatically populate the Context field, meaning it indirectly but definitionally contributes to context determination. Global Segments (B) are always displayed regardless of context, so their values play no role in selecting a context. Context-sensitive Segments (D) are the result of context determination - they appear after a context is chosen, not before.

Memory tip: Think of it as a cause-and-effect chain - the Reference field feeds into the Context field, and the Context field then triggers the Context-sensitive Segments. Only the inputs to that chain (Reference → Context) determine the context, not the outputs (Context-sensitive Segments) or the always-on pieces (Global Segments).
