Explanation

All three steps are mandatory because DBSAT operates as a strict pipeline where each component depends on the previous one's output. The Collector connects to the database and gathers raw metadata - without it, the Discoverer has no data to analyze. The Discoverer then scans that collected data to identify sensitive data patterns in schemas - its output is still a raw file, not a readable report. Finally, the Reporter transforms the Discoverer's output into a human-readable HTML/JSON report - skipping it means you never actually get a report.

• A (1,2) is wrong because stopping after the Discoverer leaves you with raw output, not a finished report.
• B (2 only) is wrong on two counts: the Discoverer has no input without the Collector, and still produces no readable report.
• D (2,3) is wrong because the Discoverer cannot run standalone - it requires the Collector's output file as its input.

Memory tip: Think of DBSAT as an assembly line - Collect → Discover → Report. Each stage feeds the next, so pulling any piece off the line breaks the whole chain. If the question involves sensitive data reporting, all three stages must run.
