Explanation

C (2 and 3) is correct because the New Tables wizard in SAS Data Integration Studio allows you to import and override column metadata from tables already registered in metadata - you are not restricted to read-only access - and you can also define brand-new columns for the table being created.

Why the distractors fail:

  • Statement 1 is false because the wizard does not lock imported metadata; you can override it, making options A and B wrong.
  • Statement 4 is false because new column definition is explicitly supported, eliminating option D.

Memory tip: Think of the wizard as a flexible editor, not a locked viewer - it lets you both override existing column info and create new columns, so the two "power user" actions (override + new) go together as the correct pair.
