Why each option

The correct steps for importing data using an import set in ServiceNow are to load the data, create a transform map, transform the data, and then clean up the import table.

ASelect source file; Run automap; Transform data; Clean up target table

'Run automap' is part of creating a transform map, and 'Clean up target table' is not a standard step; cleanup usually applies to the import set table.

BIdentity source; Import transform map; Run transformer, Verify import

This sequence includes non-standard steps like 'Import transform map' as a main phase, and 'Verify import' is an outcome rather than a primary process step.

CSetup LDAP; Test map; Create update set; Run import; Apply update set

'Setup LDAP' is for directory integration, not general data import, and 'Create/Apply update set' are for configuration migration, not data import.

DLoad the data; Create transform map; Transform data; Clean up import tableCorrect

The standard process involves loading raw data into an import set table, followed by creating a transform map to define field mappings. The data is then transformed from the import set table to the target table based on these mappings, and finally, the temporary import set records are often cleaned up.
