Explanation

Server definitions (A) cannot be imported using a SAS Metadata Bridge because server definitions represent SAS infrastructure components (such as SAS Workspace Servers or Application Servers) that must be manually configured within the SAS environment-they are not metadata that exists in external data sources to be bridged.

The distractors are wrong because Library (B), Table (C), and Column (D) definitions are all data-layer metadata that the SAS Metadata Bridge is specifically designed to extract from external sources like relational databases, ODBC connections, and third-party repositories-these map directly to a database's schema structure.

Memory tip: Think of the Metadata Bridge as a schema importer-it captures the data structure hierarchy (library → table → column), but it has no concept of SAS server infrastructure, which lives on the application side and must be defined separately by an administrator.
