B Correct answer
Explanation

SAS PROC FORMAT does create the format named 'num' despite the overlapping ranges. When ranges overlap, SAS uses the first matching range (1-6 takes precedence over 6-10). This generates a warning about overlap but does not prevent format creation. The format is successfully created and can be applied to data.
