STARTSWITH is the function that returns a Boolean result, so D is correct. The function evaluates whether one string begins with a specified substring. Its conceptual syntax is STARTSWITH(string, substring). If the original string begins with that substring, Tableau evaluates the expression as TRUE; otherwise, it evaluates as FALSE. For example, STARTSWITH([Customer Name], "A") returns TRUE for values beginning with A and FALSE for other values. Because the output is Boolean, STARTSWITH is particularly useful in calculated fields, conditional expressions, filters, classifications, and data-quality logic. The other listed functions return different data types. CHAR converts a numeric character code to its corresponding character and therefore returns a string. FIND searches for the position of a substring and returns a numeric position. UPPER converts the supplied text to uppercase and returns another string. Consequently, only STARTSWITH directly produces the TRUE/FALSE result required by the question. This distinction is fundamental when selecting functions for Boolean calculations because Tableau evaluates Boolean fields differently from numeric and string-returning expressions.

The associate can access the palette controls from the Color legend, making A correct. When a discrete dimension is placed on Color, Tableau generates a categorical color legend that identifies each dimension member and its assigned color. From the Color legend, the analyst can access Edit Colors, where a different palette can be selected and individual members can be assigned specific colors. This provides an alternative to opening the color configuration from the Marks card. The Format menu controls broader formatting characteristics such as fonts, borders, alignment, shading, and other presentation settings. Although newer Tableau versions include workbook-level palette functionality, the question concerns changing the palette associated with the dimension already encoded in the visualization, for which the Color legend is the direct alternative to the Marks card. Edit Caption modifies descriptive text associated with an object or field rather than its visual encoding. Edit in Shelf is also unrelated to palette management. Official Tableau documentation states that users can open the menu in the upper-right corner of a categorical color legend and select Edit Colors, after which they can choose or modify the palette assigned to the field's members.
