Explanation

In SAP BW/4HANA, Query as InfoProvider (A), CompositeProvider (B), and Open ODS View (D) all support consuming a generated external SAP HANA view as a data source, making them valid targets for re-use within a BW information model. A Query as InfoProvider allows a BW query's underlying HANA view to be surfaced as an InfoProvider for further modeling. A CompositeProvider can integrate an external HANA view alongside other InfoProviders in a union or join scenario. An Open ODS View is specifically designed for virtual data access and can directly reference external HANA views without physical data loading.

SAP BW/4HANA query (C) is a distractor because a regular BW query is a reporting object that sits on top of InfoProviders - it does not itself re-use or consume an external HANA view as a modeling layer. Semantic group object (E) is purely an organizational/grouping construct used to arrange BW objects in the modeler; it has no data-providing capability and generates no HANA views.

Memory tip: Use the acronym COQ - CompositeProvider, Open ODS View, Query as InfoProvider - these are the three BW objects that can consume external HANA views. If the object can't serve as a data source/InfoProvider, it can't re-use a HANA view.
