A Correct answer
Explanation

Spanned records, which can exceed the maximum control interval (CI) size and cross CI boundaries, are supported only in Entry-Sequenced Datasets (ESDS) and Key-Sequenced Datasets (KSDS). Relative Record Datasets (RRDS) require fixed-length slots and do not support spanned records.
