• B. Create a calculated field using the Add a field option in Looker Studio, and add it to your report.
• C. Create a table calculation from the field picker in Looker, and add it to your report.
• D. Create a custom field from the field picker in Looker, and add it to your report.

The correct answer is D because creating a custom field from the field picker allows you to add new fields without needing Develop permission. The other options involve modifying the LookML layer or using features that may not be accessible without the appropriate permissions.
