If you add a new reader to the Canvas using the 'Single Merged Feature Type' option, what is created?

• A. It adds a single feature type to the Canvas with the Merge Feature Type turned on and the Merge Filter set to *.
• B. It adds a single feature type with Merge Type disabled.
• C. No feature types are added.
• D. It adds multiple feature types with Merge Filter set to a default.

Answer: (A)

When you add a reader with the Single Merged Feature Type option, FME creates one feature type on the Canvas. The Merge Feature Type is turned on, and the Merge Filter is set to *, meaning all input feature types from that reader are merged into this single type. This lets downstream transformers treat the data as one unified feature type rather than handling multiple separate types.
