While reading a SDF file, if AT END clause is skipped,

D Correct answer
Explanation

If the AT END clause is omitted during a sequential READ statement in COBOL, and no appropriate declarative error handler is defined, the compiler cannot determine the end-of-file behavior, leading directly to a compile-time error rather than runtime failures.
