The key here is understanding how the Table Loader works. I believe it has the flexibility to generate different types of code depending on the options, so I'm going to go with C as the best answer.

I'm leaning towards option B, PROC SQL code. But now I'm second-guessing myself. Maybe I should review the Table Loader functionality again before answering.

Okay, I think I've got this. The Append to Existing load style in the Table Loader should generate PROC APPEND code, which is option A. I'm feeling confident about that.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused on this one. I know the Table Loader can do appends, but I'm not sure if it generates PROC APPEND or something else. I'll need to double-check the documentation to be sure.

PROC APPEND, huh? That's a classic. I wonder if it also generates some sassy comments in the code, like 'appending data like a boss!'
