D Correct answer
Explanation

JCL syntax can be validated either through the JSCAN utility (option A) or by specifying TYPERUN=SCAN on the JOB statement (option B). Both methods check JCL syntax without executing the job. Option C's TYPERUN=JEM is not a valid syntax-checking parameter, making option D correct as it includes both valid methods.
