Explanation

Building Spring Boot applications with the SAP Cloud SDK requires Java SE Development Kit (JDK) 8 as the runtime and compilation environment, and Apache Maven 3.5+ as the build/dependency management tool - these are explicitly listed in SAP's official prerequisites for SDK-based development.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• C (SAP Mobile Services / MDK) is a separate platform for building native mobile apps; it has no role in backend Spring Boot development with the Cloud SDK.
• D (Spring Initializr) is a convenience web tool for generating project scaffolding, but it is not a required tool - you can set up a Maven project manually without it.

Memory tip: Think "JDK + Maven = Build Basics." Any Java project needs a JDK to compile and Maven to manage dependencies - everything else (mobile services, scaffolding generators) is optional tooling layered on top.
