B Correct answer
Explanation

REDEFINES and OCCURS cannot both be specified at the same level number in a COBOL data description entry. REDEFINES must be at the same level as the item being redefined, while OCCURS creates a table/array. To use both, you would typically use REDEFINES at one level and have OCCURS in a subordinate level within the redefined item.
