B Correct answer
Explanation

FastLoad is designed for high-speed data loading into empty Teradata tables. During a FastLoad operation, each column can only undergo ONE data type conversion. Attempting multiple conversions per column (e.g., first from CHAR to INTEGER, then from INTEGER to DECIMAL) is not supported and will cause an error. This restriction ensures data integrity and loading performance.
