Hi Vinodaggarwal87,
According to your description, you want to retrieve data from sharepoint list in a sub folder. Right?
In this scenario, we should select the XML data source type and in the connection string provide the
List.asmx service URL when creating data source. Then we need to use the List web Service and specify "recursive" for ViewAttribute in Lists.asmx. For detail steps, please refer to the links below:

If you want to set the ViewAttribute on CAML query level. You need add the view tag outside of query tag:
<View Scope="RecursiveAll">
    <Query>
        <Where>...</Where>
    </Query>
</View>
Reference:
