Correct Answer: D

When you create a new column in a Dataverse table, you need to define the data type.

One of the data types is Choices.

This data type contains a list or set of items (choices) that users can select from the interface dropdown.

You can choose already defined sets or create a new set.

By default, the new set of items has a Global scope.

Other users in the same environment can utilize your set for creating a column with the same data type in different tables.

When you create a new set, there are two scope options: Global choice (the default) and Local choice.

If you want to use the set only within the current table, you can change Global to Local's scope.

Important to remember that you cannot change a column's data type or the Choices scope after their creation.

But you can add new items to already created Choices.

When creating a new column in a Dataverse table with a data type of Choices, the default scope of the choices depends on the selection made during the creation of the choices.

If the option "This attribute only" is selected while creating the choices, then the scope of the choices will be local, meaning they are only available within that specific column.

If the option "Entity" is selected while creating the choices, then the scope of the choices will be entity-level, meaning they are available to all columns within that specific entity.

If the option "Global" is selected while creating the choices, then the scope of the choices will be organization-level, meaning they are available to all entities within the organization.

Therefore, the answer to the question depends on the selection made during the creation of the choices. If the default option was selected, then it could be any of the three options: local, entity, or global.
