Explanation

Option A is correct because converting a field to a "selected" state is done directly through the UI: clicking the field in the field sidebar triggers a confirmation pop-up in the upper right, and after clicking YES, the field status updates immediately - no settings menus or CLI required. Option B is wrong because the feature is clearly supported in the UI as described in A. Option C is wrong because this is a GUI operation; CLI is not required, and most field-level configurations in modern tools are exposed through the interface. Option D is wrong because it describes an incorrect navigation path - there is no "Settings → Find field option" flow for this action; the entry point is the field sidebar, not a settings panel.

Memory tip: Think "sidebar click → confirm → check" - the action starts where the field lives (the sidebar), not in Settings. If the question mentions a pop-up confirmation on the upper right, that's the telltale sign of the correct UI flow.
