The correct answer is B. Tables within the global scope D. Tables which allow write access to other applications E. Tables within the existing application scope. When importing data into ServiceNow, target tables must exist within an accessible application scope (global or current) and permit write operations from the import process.

Why each option
When importing data into ServiceNow, target tables must exist within an accessible application scope (global or current) and permit write operations from the import process.
An import process always targets a table *within* the ServiceNow instance, not a table located outside of ServiceNow.
Tables within the global scope are fundamental ServiceNow tables and are commonly used as target tables for imports across various applications.
Dot-walking is a method to access fields on related records, not a mechanism for selecting an entire related table as the direct target for an import.
For an import to succeed, the chosen target table must be configured with appropriate write access permissions for the user or process performing the import.
Tables created within the current application's scope are valid target tables for imports, ensuring data is mapped to the intended application-specific data structures.
