A Correct answer
Explanation

In IDMS COBOL, the correct syntax to open an area in update mode uses the USAGE-MODE clause (with a hyphen). The syntax is 'OPEN AREANAME USAGE-MODE IS UPDATE'. Option B is incorrect because it lacks the hyphen in USAGE-MODE, and options C and D use MODIFY (which is not the correct keyword for update mode).
