Explanation

Deploying an MTA requires tools that understand the mta.yaml descriptor and the multi-module build/deploy lifecycle. SAP Business Application Studio (C) provides integrated MTA build and deploy tooling out of the box, making it a supported deployment path. Manually creating and deploying via mta.yaml (D) represents the CLI-based approach: author the mta.yaml descriptor, build it into an .mtar archive using the MTA Build Tool, then deploy using cf deploy (the MultiApps CF CLI Plugin) - this is the standard developer workflow.

Option B is wrong because cf push only handles individual Cloud Foundry apps; it has no concept of MTA modules, dependencies, or the multi-step build process - you need cf deploy instead. Option A is wrong because SAP HANA Cloud tools are database management tools and play no role in MTA deployment orchestration.

Memory tip: Think of the two correct answers as the two developer "modes" - GUI mode (BAS with its built-in deploy wizards) and manual mode (author mta.yaml → build → cf deploy). If you see cf push, that's a red flag - MTAs always use cf deploy.
