A Correct answer
Explanation

In SAS, a period (.) acts as a macro variable delimiter. To append text or another reference immediately after a macro variable, a period is used to terminate the macro reference. To get a literal period in the resolved text, two consecutive periods (..) are required, making the period the correct choice.
