Answer: D

Explanation:

Problem (Abstract): Datasource connections not listed in Data server by default Symptom: We can see the datasource in the Admin console but not in the list of data servers.

Cause: This is default behavior.

Resolving the problem

Go to the Administrative Console -> Configuration -> Set properties -> Connections tab.

On the bottom, you will see "Data source capabilities"

Inside that, check the box which says "Allow web-based modeling"

Once you check this, the datasource would be present as data server.
