Input data is provided: squash 1.10 apples 2.25 juice 1.69 The following SAS program is submitted using the raw data file above: data groceries; infile 'file-specification'; input item $ cost; ---------------- run; Which one of the following completes the program and produces a grand total for all COST values?

To accumulate a running total across observations, use a RETAIN statement to initialize the variable and preserve its value, then use the SUM statement syntax 'grandtot + cost;'. The RETAIN statement initializes grandtot to 0 and keeps its value between iterations, while '+ cost' adds each new cost value. Options A and B use incorrect SUM function syntax, and D lacks the necessary RETAIN.
