B Correct answer
Explanation

The Linkage Section in Hogan defines the parameters passed between programs, and it can contain more datagroups than those defined in the Program Definition. This allows for flexibility in parameter passing - additional datagroups in the Linkage Section can be used for intermediate or working variables that aren't part of the formal program interface.
