Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B

The correct answer is B. The set statement in SAS can concatenate multiple datasets together. The AMERICAN and NATIONAL datasets appear to have the same structure and variables, so the set statement without any options will combine them into one dataset called BASEBALL. The order of the datasets in the set statement determines the order of the observations in the output dataset, and since there is no variable that needs renaming to match between the two datasets, option B is the correct answer.
