B Correct answer
Explanation

CASE is used in EasyTrieve instead of EVALUATE in COBOL for conditional branching based on multiple possible values. Both serve similar purposes - allowing different actions based on a variable's value - but CASE is the EasyTrieve keyword. SELECT is for file processing, ESTIMATE doesn't exist in EasyTrieve, and SEARCH is for table lookups.
