D Correct answer
Explanation

A COBOL program has exactly four divisions: Identification, Environment, Data, and Procedure. Working-Storage is a section within the Data Division, not a separate division. The other options (Identification, Environment, Data) are all valid COBOL divisions.

AI explanation

To answer this question, you need to understand the different divisions in a COBOL program.

In COBOL, a program is divided into four divisions:

A. Identification division: This division contains information about the program such as its name, author, and date of creation.

B. Environment division: This division contains information about the environment in which the program will run, such as the type of computer system, file descriptions, and input/output specifications.

C. Data division: This division contains declarations of data items used in the program, including variables, records, and data structures.

D. Working division: The "Working" division is not a standard division in COBOL. It is not a recognized division in COBOL programs.

Therefore, the correct answer is D. "Working" division. This division is not present in COBOL programs.
