C Correct answer
Explanation

JCL continuation lines must begin in column 16 (or any column between 4-16 per the options). The standard is column 16, but the range 4-16 gives flexibility. The key is that continuation must distinguish itself from new statements (which start in column 1-2 with //). Option C's range 4-16 is the correct answer - continuation can begin anywhere in that range, with column 16 being the convention.
