Option C is not a correct method to change the data type of a field in general, because it only works for fields that were part of the original data source, not calculated fields. Option D is correct, but it's not the only one. Option A is also correct, because it allows you to change the data type of any field on the Data Source tab. so the corerect answer is A and D
