D Correct answer
Explanation

START statement is used to position a file at a specific record for sequential processing. When ACCESS MODE is RANDOM, records are accessed directly by key, making sequential positioning operations like START invalid. READ, WRITE, and REWRITE are all valid operations for RANDOM access mode on relative files.
