D Correct answer
Explanation

None of the listed stages (DRS, UniVerse, Sequential File) can directly read .xls files in DataStage on Windows. Excel files require either ODBC connections with Excel drivers, external import stages, or conversion to CSV/text format before being processed by standard DataStage stages.
