Answer and Explanation
Streaming replication and logical replication are available as replication features in PostgreSQL.
Logical Replication is a feature added in PostgreSQL version 10. It decodes WAL generated by the publisher (source) and forwards logical changes to the subscriber (destination).
Replication can be performed on a per-database or per-table basis, and only some SQL (INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, TRUNCATE) is replicated.
DDL commands are not replicated, except for the TRUNCATE command.
It can be replicated across different major versions and is also used to perform major version upgrades.
Data can be updated by either the publisher (source) or the subscriber (destination).
So the correct answers are A, B and D.
