Explanation

CSV (comma-separated values) is the only supported file format for importing data into a reference set via the reference set editor's import function. CSV is a simple, flat-text format that maps cleanly to a single-column or delimited list of values - exactly what a reference set (a collection of login names, IPs, etc.) requires.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• XML (A) and JSON (D) are structured, hierarchical data formats not supported by the reference set import function - they're designed for complex nested data, not flat value lists.
• XLS (C) is a proprietary Microsoft Excel binary format; while it can store tabular data, the reference set editor does not support it for import.

Memory tip: Think "CSV for Collections" - reference sets are simple collections of values, and CSV's plain, comma-delimited structure is the natural fit for bulk-loading flat lists into security tools like QRadar.
