B Correct answer
Explanation

In COBOL, GO BACK is equivalent to STOP RUN in a stand-alone program because GO BACK returns control to the calling program, and when there is no caller (stand-alone), it terminates the program. FINISH, STOP, and EXIT are not valid COBOL verbs for program termination in this context. EXIT PROGRAM exists but is for called programs, not stand-alone programs.
