D Correct answer
Explanation

For binary mode file transmission via SFT (Secure File Transfer), you must disable translation (&TXLATE=NO) and specify the data type as binary (&TDATTYP=BINARY). Translation converts data between character sets (e.g., EBCDIC to ASCII), which would corrupt binary files. The other combinations either enable translation when binary is needed or specify TEXT type incorrectly.
