Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

The PERFORM VARYING loop iterates with C starting at 1 and incrementing by 1 until C equals 6. Since the condition UNTIL C = 6 is checked before each iteration, the loop runs for C = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 (5 iterations), and stops when C becomes 6. Therefore RESULT = 5.
