B Correct answer
Explanation

WHILE is not a keyword in standard COBOL. COBOL uses PERFORM...UNTIL for looping constructs, not WHILE. For example, 'PERFORM UNTIL condition' or 'PERFORM varying... UNTIL condition'. The WHILE keyword exists in languages like C, Java, and Python, but not in traditional COBOL. False is the correct answer.
