Explanation

When a CICS program is compiled, the preprocessor includes DFHEIBLK (the CICS Execute Interface Block) and DFHCOMMAREA (the communication area definition) to provide the necessary CICS interface structures. Options A, B, and C have typos in the field names (DFHEIBDK, DFHCOMNAREA, DFHEEBLK).
