Explanation

When SAP Analytics Cloud connects to SAP BW/4HANA via a live data connection, it operates in real-time against the BW system - meaning it can directly consume BW data models for analysis (C) without importing data, and it inherits the existing BW analysis authorizations (B), so users automatically see only what they're permitted to see in BW without reconfiguring security in SAC.

Why A is wrong: Planning scenarios require write-back capability and are typically supported through import connections or dedicated planning integrations - live connections are read-oriented and don't support BW-based planning round-trips.

Why D is wrong: Process chains are BW's ETL/scheduling mechanism; they have no "streaming functionality" exposed to SAC. Live connections don't interact with process chains at all.

Memory tip: Think "Live = Read + Auth" - a live connection lets you read BW models for analysis and reuse existing authorizations. Anything involving writing back data (planning) or triggering BW processes (process chains) is outside the scope of a live connection.
