A Correct answer
Explanation

The default TIME parameter on a JCL EXEC statement is 30 minutes of CPU time. This means if no TIME parameter is coded, the job step will be allowed 30 minutes of CPU time before the system abends with a 322 reason code. The other options (1440 minutes = 24 hours, 1 hour, 2 hours) are not the system default.
