What will the file D:\Output\body.html contain after the code runs?

The PROC PRINT output for Work.Alpha.
The PROC PRINT output for Work.Beta.
The PROC PRINT output for both Work.Alpha and Work.Beta.
Nothing. No output is written to D:\Output\body.html.

The correct answer is: The PROC PRINT output for both Work.Alpha and Work.Beta.

The file D:\Output\body.html will contain the output for both Work.Alpha and Work.Beta because in SAS, when you generate output using procedures like PROC PRINT, the results can be directed to an HTML file if specified. If the code includes PROC PRINT statements for both datasets (Work.Alpha and Work.Beta) and is designed to output this information to the specified HTML file, the results for both datasets will be included in that file. Additionally, if the output destination has been programmed correctly to capture all specified output from the procedures run prior in the same session or block of code, the results from both datasets will be compiled into the output file. This allows users to view a consolidated report of their data within that single HTML document, making it easier for analysis or presentation purposes. Thus, choice C accurately reflects the expected contents of body.html after executing the code.
