Why each option

Change sets are a Salesforce deployment tool for transferring metadata between related organizations, requiring a deployment connection, and they can also deploy custom settings data.

AChange sets can only be used between related organizations.

Change sets are restricted to specific deployment connections, primarily between sandboxes and their associated production org, and are not usable between all 'related' organizations in a general sense.

BChange sets can be used to transfer records.Correct

Change sets can transfer certain types of record data, specifically custom settings data records, which are a form of configuration data.

CSending a change set between two orgs requires a deployment connection.Correct

A deployment connection must be explicitly configured and active between the source and target Salesforce organizations for change sets to be sent and received.

DChange sets can deploy custom settings data.Correct

Change sets support the deployment of custom settings metadata and their associated data records, allowing configuration data to be moved between environments.

EDeployment is done in a one-way, single transaction.

While change set deployments are one-way, they are not always a single, atomic transaction across all components; failures can occur on individual components without rolling back the entire deployment.
