B,C,D Correct answer
Explanation

Special registers in COBOL are predefined reserved words that provide runtime information. PSW (Program Status Word) contains condition codes, PC (Program Counter) is not a standard COBOL special register but may appear in system-specific implementations, and SP (Stack Pointer) may be available in certain environments. PR is not a recognized special register. Note: PC and SP are more commonly associated with assembly language than standard COBOL.
