B Correct answer
Explanation

In VSAM data sets, a Control Area is the larger structure that contains multiple Control Intervals. Think of it as containers within containers - Control Intervals are the basic I/O units that hold data, and Control Areas group multiple Control Intervals together. Therefore, a Control Area is always larger than a Control Interval.
