C Correct answer
Explanation

In COBOL report writing, the three primary verbs are INITIATE (starts the report processing), GENERATE (produces report lines based on report groups), and TERMINATE (ends report processing and produces final totals). These verbs control the complete lifecycle of a report. Option D incorrectly uses 'Initialize' and 'End', while Option B incorrectly uses 'Write' instead of 'Generate'.
