The correct answer is B: The XLSX engine can read and write data in Microsoft Excel workbooks. This functionality allows SAS users to directly access and manipulate data stored in Excel files using the .xlsx extension. The XLSX engine does not automatically concatenate individual worksheets; instead, each worksheet is accessed separately. Also, it specifically works with files that have the .xlsx extension, not the older .xls format, thus eliminating option C. Option D is incorrect because the XLSX engine requires the correct file extension (.xlsx) in the LIBNAME statement to properly identify and interact with Excel files.
