C Correct answer
Explanation

In JCL, a REGION parameter specified on the JOB statement overrides any REGION parameters defined on the EXEC statements within that job. Consequently, the REGION parameter on an EXEC statement is only taken into consideration if there is no REGION parameter defined on the JOB statement. Other options incorrectly state that EXEC overrides JOB.
