Option B) It is used for items with the rename clause. This option is incorrect because the 88 level entry is not used specifically for items with the rename clause. The 88 level entry is used for condition names.

Option C) It is used for a data item which redefines another data item. This option is incorrect because the 88 level entry is not used for data items that redefine another data item. The 88 level entry is used for condition names.
