Data Explorer is a graphical interface that allows you to browse, create, and manage data objects such as databases, tables, and views in your workspace. You can also review and modify the permissions on these data objects using Data Explorer. To access Data Explorer, you can click on the Data icon in the sidebar, or use the
%sql magic command in a notebook. You can then select a database and a table, and click on the Permissions tab to view and edit the access control lists (ACLs) for the table. You can also use SQL commands such as SHOW GRANT and GRANT to query and modify the permissions on a Delta table. References:

* Access control for Delta tables
* SHOW GRANT
* [GRANT]

The MERGE command can be used to upsert data from a source table, view, or DataFrame into a target Delta table. It allows you to specify conditions for matching and updating existing records, and inserting new records when no match is found. This way, you can avoid writing duplicate records into a Delta table1. The other commands (DROP, IGNORE, APPEND, INSERT) do not have this functionality and may result in duplicate records or data loss234.

According to the medallion lakehouse architecture, gold tables are the final layer of data that powers analytics, machine learning, and production applications. They are often highly refined and aggregated, containing data that has been transformed into knowledge, rather than just information. Silver tables, on the other hand, are the intermediate layer of data that represents a validated, enriched version of the raw data from the bronze layer. They provide an enterprise view of all its key business entities, concepts and transactions, but they may not have all the aggregations and calculations that are required for specific use cases. Therefore, gold tables are more likely to contain aggregations than silver tables. Reference:

The best practice is to use "Complete" as output mode instead of "append" when working with aggregated tables. Since gold layer is work final aggregated tables, the only option with output mode as complete is option E.
