Why each option

Workflow field updates can modify a record's record type or set a specific value for a field within the same object.

AChange the record type of a record.Correct

A workflow field update can be configured to change the Record Type of a record, which is a common action to alter business processes or page layouts.

BSelect a formula field for a field update.

Formula fields are read-only and their values are dynamically calculated, meaning they cannot be updated or selected as target fields for a workflow field update.

CApply a specific value to a field.Correct

A workflow field update can apply a specific, predefined value to a field on the record that triggered the workflow, automating data entry or standardization.

DUpdate the value of a field on a child object.

Workflow field updates operate only on the record that initiated the workflow or its immediate parent, and cannot directly update fields on unrelated child objects.
