B Correct answer
Explanation

The TIME parameter on the JOB statement specifies the maximum CPU time a job can consume before being terminated by the system. TIME can be specified in minutes (TIME=mm) or minutes:seconds format (TIME=mm:ss). This resource limit prevents runaway jobs from consuming excessive processor time and impacting other workloads.
