C Correct answer
Explanation

In COBOL, 'STOP RUN' is the statement used to terminate program execution and return control to the operating system. 'EXIT' is not a valid COBOL verb for program termination, and 'STOP' alone is incomplete. The 'STOP RUN' statement is the standard method to end a COBOL program gracefully.
