Why each option

On a knowledge base record, the "Can Contribute" tab is used to define which users are authorized to create and edit articles within that knowledge base.

ACan ContributeCorrect

The "Can Contribute" related list or tab on a Knowledge Base record is where you define the User Criteria that determine who has permission to create new articles or edit existing ones within that specific knowledge base. This mechanism ensures that only authorized personnel can add or modify knowledge content.

BCannot Author

Cannot Author is not a standard tab for defining authoring permissions.

CCan Write

Can Write is not the specific terminology used in ServiceNow Knowledge Bases for this purpose; "Can Contribute" is used.

DCan Read

Can Read defines who can view articles, not who can write them.

ECan Author

Can Author is not the specific terminology used in ServiceNow Knowledge Bases; "Can Contribute" is used.
