Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

The LIBNAME statement uses Windows-style backslashes without proper escaping. In SAS, backslashes are escape characters, so 'c:\mydocuments\output' should be written as 'c:\mydocuments\output' or use forward slashes 'c:/mydocuments/output'. The rest of the code is syntactically correct.
