D Correct answer
Explanation

In JCL, the PEND statement marks the end of an in-stream or catalogued procedure. This tells the JCL processor that the procedure definition is complete. It is required to properly close the procedure block.

AI explanation

In JCL, the PEND statement marks the end of an in-stream or cataloged procedure, closing out the set of statements that make up that procedure. PROC marks the beginning instead, and STREAM/SET aren't valid JCL statement names for this purpose.
