C Correct answer
Explanation

In Cognos prompt interfaces, a star (*) indicates that a prompt is mandatory, and an arrow (>) indicates that no selection has been made yet. When both adornments appear together, it means the prompt requires a response but the user hasn't made any selection. Option A incorrectly combines mandatory status with single-selection constraint, while Option B omits the mandatory requirement.
