C Correct answer
Explanation

The code reads x as numeric (10) and y as character ($ indicates character type). The double quotes around 100 are preserved as part of the character value for y. The output shows x=10 and y="100" with the quotes included, which is option C. SAS preserves quotation marks in character fields during datalines input.
