B Correct answer
Explanation

In COBOL, every paragraph must end with a period (.). PARA-A contains multiple statements, and the last statement before PARA-EXIT is 'Move C to D' (line 10), which should end with a period. The period marks the end of the paragraph and is required for proper compilation.
