The SysObsoleteAttribute is used to mark code elements, such as methods or classes, as obsolete. This attribute has a constructor that accepts two parameters: a message string and a boolean value. When the boolean parameter is set to true, the X++ compiler will treat any call to the decorated element as an error, causing the compilation process to fail. This directly meets the requirement of forcing a compilation failure when a specific method is called.

B. getAttributes: This is a reflection method used to retrieve attributes from a code element at runtime; it is not an attribute that can be applied to control compiler behavior.

C. SysEntryPointAttribute: This attribute is used to designate a method as a security entry point, enforcing code access security checks, not to cause a compilation error upon being called.

D. SysAttribute: This is the abstract base class from which all attribute classes in X++ must inherit. It is not used directly to mark code elements for specific compiler actions.

1. Microsoft Learn: "Attributes in X++". This document details the SysObsoleteAttribute and its parameters. It explicitly states, "If the isError parameter is true, the compiler treats the use of the element as an error. If the parameter is false, the compiler generates a warning."

2. Microsoft Learn: "Authorizing users by using security roles". This document explains the purpose of the SysEntryPointAttribute. It states, "The SysEntryPointAttribute attribute indicates that the method is an entry point. The authorization check is performed when the method is the first method in the call stack to be decorated with the attribute."
