Answer: B
Reasoning: One-to-one readings are the simplest form of combining
data sets which will provide the best option in ensuring the
programming code is not overly complex. In this type of combining,
all the variables from each of the data sets will exist in the new data
set. Variables with the same name does not matter, since the values
of the last data set read will overwrite all previous values from existing
data sets. If the values should not be overwritten, the variable name
can be changed before the output is rendered. Not all observations
will appear in the final data set: if this is a requirement than
concatenation is the next best choice for combining data sets.
