Collection and Global variable: Global variables: Holds a number, text string, Boolean, record, table, etc. that can be referenced from anywhere in the app Collections: Holds a table that can be referenced from anywhere in the app. Allows the contents of the table to be modified rather than being set as a whole. Can be saved to the local device for later use. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerapps/maker/canvas-apps/working-with-variables

Global Variable and Collection could be the correct answer as per the documentation Global variables -App Simplest to use. Holds a number, text string, Boolean, record, table, etc. that can be referenced from anywhere in the app. Context variables- Screen Great for passing values to a screen, much like parameters to a procedure in other languages. Can be referenced from only one screen. Collections - App Holds a table that can be referenced from anywhere in the app. Allows the contents of the table to be modified rather than being set as a whole. Can be saved to the local device for later use.

I agree... Collection and Global variable are the correct answer. Context variable does not apply here, since they can only be referenced from a specific form. "Environment variables" enable the basic application lifecycle management (ALM) scenario of moving an applications between Power Platform environments, so they don't hold actual table data.

Collection and Global variables can hold a dataset/table Context variable is used as parameter/simple value. Environment variable is used for controlling environment settings, across multiple apps. Use case: export/import solutions https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-apps/maker/canvas-apps/working-with-variables

Tabular data can be stored on a var in an array format, so Global or environment should be suitable options?

The requirement is: You need to configure the use of a suitable data store. Collection is local to the app, and also not across users, so data retrieval from the source is kept to a minimum once collected. Others: Environmental variable is more concerned with use of the app in different environments/solutions Global variable is temp data structure for ‘programming use’ between different app modules (screens) for speed enhancement: It is not a direct answer (seems Collection is a special type of global variable) “Using a Global variable (using Set() function) has a better performance than Context variable (using UpdateContext() function) within a canvas ap” https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Building-Power-Apps/Variable-Types-and-Best-Practice/td-p/178042 https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerapps/maker/canvas-apps/working-with-variables

FYSA, Environment Variables are used with Power Automate, this question is specifically asking about a CANVAS app. So you would need to use Collections and a Global Variable.
