Answer: B,C

Explanation:

BW analysis authorizations are not a constraint for deleting master data. They are used for controlling access to data during query execution.

There must be no transaction data referring to the cost centers. If there is transaction data in InfoProviders or DataStore objects that reference the cost centers, then you cannot delete these cost centers.

There must be no hierarchy for the cost centers. If there is a hierarchy defined on the cost centers, then these cost centers cannot be deleted.

The existence of a BW query that uses cost center as a free characteristic is also not a constraint for deleting master data. Queries are designed based on the InfoProvider structure and data. However, if master data is deleted, it might impact the output of the queries where those master data elements are used.
