C Correct answer
Explanation

REXX limits literal strings to 250 characters maximum. This is a well-defined language constraint. While other limits exist (like variable name length), the 250-character limit for string literals is the classic REXX limitation programmers must remember.

AI explanation

In classic REXX, a literal string (and variable value) is limited to a maximum of 250 characters. This limit is documented across REXX language references and mainframe REXX guides. The value 251 is simply an off-by-one error and not the documented limit.
