D Correct answer
Explanation

The MMDDYY10. informat reads '03132000' as March 13, 2000 (MM=03, DD=13, YY=2000). SAS stores all dates internally as the number of days since January 1, 1960, which is why the stored value is 14682. Options A, B, and C show formatted outputs, not the internal stored value.
