B,C Correct answer
Explanation

Multiproviders and Infosets are both composite data providers in SAP BW that access data from underlying basic providers. The key difference is that Multiproviders use a union operation to combine data from multiple providers, while Infosets use join operations to link related data. Both objects do not store physical data themselves, instead accessing it in real-time from their constituent providers.
