Explanation

In SAS Data Integration Studio, when creating a Generated transformation, you can mark an option as "Requires a non-blank value" in the option's properties - this forces users to supply a value before the transformation can run, making it effectively required. Option A is wrong because there is no _REQUIRED naming convention for options in DI Studio; naming conventions don't control validation behavior. Option B is wrong because "Required Data source column" is a column type concept unrelated to transformation option properties. Option D is wrong because requiring a non-blank value is a built-in feature of the option editor.

Memory tip: Think of it like a form field with a red asterisk - you're not renaming the field or changing its data type, you're simply checking a box that says "this can't be left blank." That maps directly to "Requires a non-blank value."
