B Correct answer
Explanation

The CONFIGURATION SECTION in the ENVIRONMENT DIVISION is optional in COBOL. While it's commonly used to specify computer names and special configuration, COBOL programs can compile and run without it. Minimal COBOL programs only require the IDENTIFICATION DIVISION. Option B (False) is correct because this section is not mandatory.
