Explanation

Business Rules in ServiceNow have an 'Actions' tab that provides a no-code interface for common operations without requiring any scripting. The two actions available in this tab are: setting field values on the current record, and adding an info/error/warning message to display to the user. Querying the database (A) requires scripting using GlideRecord. Writing to the system log (C) requires gs.log() in a script. Generating an event (D) requires gs.eventQueue() in a script. Therefore, the only combination achievable without scripting is setting field values and adding a message.
