C Correct answer
Explanation

Union transformation in Informatica is a passive transformation that merges data from multiple pipelines. It does not generate transaction boundaries (commit points) - it simply unions the data. Option A is incorrect because Union has multiple input groups but only one output group. Option B is incorrect because matching ports are required across input groups. Option D is incorrect because precision, datatype, and scale must match across groups for union compatibility.
