Answer and Explanation

current_user is a function that returns the name of the user executing the context and takes no arguments.

There is no user change function as described in C or D.

It is a function that occupies a special position in SQL and parentheses can not be added after the function name. It will result in an error. In the same way, there are current_date and so on as a function that gives an error when you put parentheses. 

Therefore, the correct answers are B and E.
