Explanation

The Power Apps trigger is specifically designed to allow a canvas app to invoke a Power Automate flow when a user interacts with a control, such as pressing a button. The canvas app calls the flow directly via this trigger, passing any required inputs. 'For a selected row' (B) is a trigger used in Power BI or model-driven apps to run a flow on a selected data row. 'Manually trigger a flow' (C) is a standalone manual trigger invoked from the Power Automate portal itself, not from within a custom app. For button-in-app scenarios, Power Apps trigger is the correct choice.
