D Correct answer
Explanation

The loop variable ws-loop is defined with a picture clause of 9(02), meaning its maximum possible value is 99. When incremented beyond 99, it overflows back to 00. Consequently, the condition ws-loop = 100 can never be satisfied, resulting in an infinite loop instead of a finite display count.
