A Correct answer
Explanation

In JCL, primary space allocation occurs first when the job starts. Secondary space is allocated dynamically if needed during step execution when primary space is exhausted. Therefore both statements 'a' (Primary first, then Secondary if required) and 'c' (Primary allocated at job start) are correct.
