D Correct answer
Explanation

This is a trick question - all three statements A, B, and C about packages are actually TRUE. Statement A is true - packages cannot be called, parameterized, or nested like subprograms can. Statement B is true - packages do have a format similar to subprograms with specification and body. Statement C is true - packages are designed for code sharing. Since the question asks 'which is false' and none of A, B, or C are false, the correct answer is D (None of the above).
