Answer: C

Explanation:

The Transactional Deployment setting controls whether the deployment of metadata changes and process commands occurs in a single transaction or in separate transactions.

If this option is True (default), Analysis Services deploys all metadata changes and all process commands within a single transaction.

If this option is False, Analysis Services deploys the metadata changes in a single transaction, and deploys each processing command in its own transaction.
