Selected Answer: BD

why it is D instead of C? Use update(): When you are writing custom X++ code to perform a targeted update on a specific data entity. When the update is a standalone operation, and you don’t need the additional overhead of the full data management pipeline. Use execute(): When the update is part of a larger data management process, such as importing data from an external file or running a data migration job. When you need to leverage the Data Management framework’s built-in features, such as staging tables, error logging, or batch processing.

I agree that BC are probably the best answers, but A also appears to be a valid answer unless I'm missing something small

A is not bulk, it's a while select that is record-by-record

Correct, the kernel will replace the update_recordset with a while internally, since the update trigger is overwritten.

I found a comment in the code, that execute is obsolete: [Hookable(false), SysObsolete('Use the update method instead of this method', false, 02\04\2020)]
