Dataverse provides the three connectors that Power Automate can use: Common Data Service, Common Data Service (current environment), and Dynamics 365 connector.
Each of the connectors has a list of triggers and actions.
There are similar triggers and actions between all connectors, like “When a record is created,” “Create a new row,” or “Create a new record.”
The Common Data Service connector has the following actions:

The Dynamics 365 connector has the same actions, but this connector is deprecated.
Microsoft recommends using Common Data Service (current environment) for all your Dataverse and Dynamics 365 data connection needs in the new flows.
The Common Data Service connector can benefit you when you need to synchronize data between two environments.
The Common Data Service (current environment) connector has the same actions as the other two but also half a dozen more, like “Relate rows,” “Predict,” “Perform a bound action,” “Get file or image content,” and others.
Options C and E are incorrect because these actions are part of the Common Data Service (current environment) connector, but not of Common Data Service.

As a Microsoft Power Platform Functional Consultant, I can tell you that the Common Data Service (CDS) connector is used to create automated flows using Dataverse. The Dataverse is a cloud-based data storage service that allows you to securely store and manage data used by business applications.
The Common Data Service connector offers several actions that can be used in Power Automate flows. The available actions are:
A. Create a new record: This action creates a new record in the selected Dataverse table. When creating a new record, you can specify the field values for the new record.
B. Delete a record: This action deletes a record from the selected Dataverse table. When deleting a record, you need to specify the record's unique identifier.
C. Relate rows: This action creates a relationship between two records in the selected Dataverse tables. You need to specify the parent and child records and the relationship type.
D. List records: This action retrieves a list of records from the selected Dataverse table. You can filter the records using the OData syntax.
E. Predict: This action uses machine learning algorithms to predict a value based on the input data. This action is only available for some Dataverse tables, such as the Opportunity table in Dynamics 365 Sales.
In summary, the Common Data Service connector in Power Automate offers several actions to create automated flows using Dataverse. These actions include creating new records, deleting records, relating rows, listing records, and predicting values using machine learning algorithms.
