B,C Correct answer
Explanation

JCL symbolic parameters resolve directly without adding separators; undefined symbols default to empty. Option B resolves as TBIS+USR (no separator) + literal dot + JCL.CRS + literal dot + DATA+1 = TBISUSR.JCLCRS.DATA1. Option C resolves similarly with trailing dot ignored. Options A and D are incorrect because they don't produce the required string structure.
