C Correct answer
Explanation

The Merge stage uniquely supports multiple reject links, allowing you to route rejected records from different input links to separate destinations for error handling. Join and Lookup stages only support a single reject link. Options A and B are incorrect because Merge requires sorted inputs like Join does, making sorted/unsorted input the common feature, not the differentiator.
