A,B,C,D Correct answer
Explanation

VSAM files need REORG when: compressed index keys indicate fragmentation (A), average key length >8 suggests inefficient storage (B), high embedded freespace means wasted space (C), and extending to 3 extents shows the file is outgrowing its allocation (D). Low HIARBA (High Insert Activity Rate) would actually NOT suggest REORG.
