C Correct answer
Explanation

When the DISP parameter is omitted in a DD statement for a new dataset, the default is DISP=NEW,DELETE,DELETE. This means the dataset is treated as new (NEW), will be deleted if the step abends (first DELETE), and will be deleted after successful step completion (second DELETE).
