D Correct answer
Explanation

MultiLoad is designed specifically for performing block-level operations on tables that already contain data (populated tables). Unlike FastLoad which only works on empty tables, MultiLoad can handle insert, update, delete, and upsert operations efficiently in bulk. Tpump is for trickle-feed continuous updates, while BulkLoad is not a standard Teradata utility.
