I'm not sure about that, Curtis. But it seems like a logical requirement for combining datasets.

As an SAP expert, I can confidently say that the merge transform is like a magical unicorn that brings together all your data dreams. The correct answer is obviously B - 5000 output rows, no questions asked!

Hold up, did someone say 'SAP'? That's my jam! Let's see, the merge transform... I think it just combines the two datasets, no matter the row count. So I'd say A is the way to go. Now, where's the nearest Starbucks?

Hmm, the merge transform requires the datasets to have the same structure? That seems a bit restrictive. I'm going to guess C - full outer join, that sounds about right.

Ah, the merge transform! I remember learning about this in my SAP training. I'm pretty sure the output is the combined number of rows from both datasets, not a fixed 5000 rows. So I'd go with A.

The merge transform combines the datasets, but I'm not sure if the output is guaranteed to be 5000 rows or less. I think the correct answer might be C - it does a full outer join.
