B Correct answer
Explanation

COMPRESS with LEAVING NO SPACE concatenates values without spaces. #A='ABC' and #B='012' compress into #C (A10). The result is 'ABC012' (6 characters). Since #C is defined as A10, it is right-justified with 4 trailing spaces: 'ABC012 '. Option B shows 'ABC012SSSS' where S represents space, which is correct.
