Why each option

The correct sequence for importing data via an import set involves creating the import set, creating a transform map, transforming the data, and then cleaning up the import table.

ACreate Import Set; Create transform map; Transform data; Clean up import tableCorrect

The standard process for importing data using an import set involves first loading the data into a staging table (creating an import set), then defining the mapping rules to the target table via a transform map, executing the transform to move the data, and finally, cleaning up the temporary import table. This systematic approach ensures controlled and accurate data migration.

BCreate a Transform Map, Load Data, Transform Data, Run Transform Map Script

'Run Transform Map Script' is not a distinct, general step in the primary import process, and 'Load Data' typically precedes 'Create a Transform Map'.

CIdentify source; Import transform map; Run transformer; Verify import

This option uses non-standard terminology for several steps, such as 'Import transform map' and 'Run transformer'.

DSelect source file; Run AutoMap; Transform data; Clean up target table

'Run AutoMap' is an automated feature, not a required manual step, and 'Clean up target table' is generally not part of the standard import process cleanup which focuses on the import table.
