C Correct answer
Explanation

The JOBPARM statement (or /*JOBPARM in JCL) sets limits on job execution. The PAGES parameter specifically limits the number of pages of output a job can produce. This prevents runaway jobs from consuming excessive system resources. 'LINES', 'OUTPUT', and 'OUTPARM' are not the correct parameter names for this purpose.
