B,C Correct answer
Explanation

Temporary data sets in JCL use double ampersand notation (&&NAME) on the DSN parameter for the initial allocation. The system generates a unique name. Subsequent references use single ampersand (&NAME) to refer back to the same temporary data set. Options B (&&TEMP(NAME)) and C (&&NAME) are valid.
