A Correct answer
Explanation

In COBOL IMS application programs, Segment Search Arguments (SSAs) should be defined in the WORKING-STORAGE SECTION. This section contains data definitions that are used throughout the program and persist across program invocations. LINKAGE SECTION is for parameters passed to/from the program, File Section is for file records, and Configuration Section has a typo (should be Configuration).
