C Correct answer
Explanation

The UPDATE statement is the SQL command used to modify existing data in database tables. Options A, B, and D (SAVE, MODIFY, SAVE AS) are not valid SQL statements - these sound like application commands, not database operations. UPDATE is paired with SET and WHERE clauses to change specific records.
