B Correct answer
Explanation

In data mapping tools (like Informatica), you cannot connect more than one group (data flow path) to the same target or transformation. Each target or transformation input can receive data from only one source group to prevent data ambiguity and conflicts. You would need a transformation to merge multiple groups before sending to a single target.

AI explanation

In Informatica PowerCenter's Mapping Designer, the rule is the reverse of this statement: you can connect one output group to multiple input groups (fan-out), but you cannot connect more than one output group (or 'group') to a single target or transformation input group. Each input group of a target/transformation can only receive links from one output group at a time to avoid ambiguous/conflicting data flow. So the statement as worded is False, matching the marked answer. This is a standard PowerCenter connection rule tested in ETL/Informatica certification material.
