When defining a scope in your variable, from where can it ONLY be created?

The scope in a variable can only be created from the Environment Record. This is because Environment Records are specifically designed to hold configuration settings related to a particular environment where an application is deployed or will be deployed. Variables defined in the Environment Record are essential for controlling how the deployment behaves in different environments, such as testing or production.

The other options, while they may relate to the overall project or pipeline setup, do not serve as the fundamental source for creating variable scopes. For instance, project settings and pipelines may use those variables defined in the Environment Record, but they do not directly create or define the scope themselves.
