C Correct answer
Explanation

In IBM JCL, to specify unlimited CPU time for a job step, you use TIME=NOLIMIT or TIME=MAXIMUM. TIME=1440 specifies 1440 minutes (24 hours), not unlimited. TIME=32767 would be a specific very large value in minutes. The NOLIMIT parameter truly means no time restriction.
