IMHO, B and only B. Not D, because it is about partitions, not A, C, D - because of completely different purpose. A may be, generally, but it is not what a question about.

Selected Answer: B

Correct: Enable "Truncate table" option: This option truncates the target table before copying data, ensuring that all existing data is replaced with the new data from the external source.
