D Correct answer
Explanation

In JCL, the OUTLIM parameter limits the number of logical records written to a SYSOUT dataset to prevent runaway jobs from consuming excessive spool space. Exceeding this limit causes a system abend (typically S722). Parameters like LIMIT, SIZE, and MAX do not perform this specific JCL function.
