Explanation

In Power Apps canvas apps, context variables are screen-scoped-they exist only within the screen where they are set and are not accessible from other screens. UpdateContext (B) directly creates or updates a context variable on the current screen: UpdateContext({varName: value}). Navigate (A) also creates context variables on the destination screen via its third parameter: Navigate(Screen, Transition, {varName: value})-those variables are scoped to that target screen only. Set (C) creates global variables accessible across all screens. Collect (D) creates or appends to a collection (a global table). SaveData (E) persists a collection to local device storage. Only A and B produce screen-scoped variables.
