Programming 1 Lesson 4 Which DATA step creates permanent table?

Greetings,

Would someone experienced please explain why answer A is incorrect?

I wanted to check both A and B but there is no multiple choice option. According to the lesson, "The DATA statement names the output table, or the table you want to create. This can be a temporary table if you use the Work library or a permanent table if you use any other library." Bearing this in mind, I considered that only option C creates a temporary table as it referred to work in its name. A and B have no such reference and therefore should create a permanent table, shouldn't they?.

Thank you.
