A,B,D Correct answer
Explanation

The Working Storage Section in a COBOL program that interfaces with IMS/DL/I contains dynamic data areas needed during execution. This includes function codes (what operation to perform), I/O areas (buffers for data being transferred), and Segment Search Arguments (SSAs that describe which segments to access). PCB masks are typically in the Linkage Section, not Working Storage.
