A Correct answer
Explanation

If the TIME parameter is omitted from both the EXEC and JOB statements, JCL defaults to the installation-defined limit, which is typically 30 minutes of CPU time in standard IBM mainframe environments. Option 1440 minutes signifies an unlimited time allocation (TIME=1440), which must be coded explicitly.
