B Correct answer
Explanation

The correct Natural syntax for CONST clause uses angle brackets around the constant value: CONST<'text'>. Option B correctly shows this format with the value enclosed in angle brackets. Options without angle brackets or with misplaced quotes are incorrect - Natural requires the angle bracket syntax for constants to distinguish them from variables and string literals.
