Explanation
MSGLEVEL controls the printing of job messages. The default value MSGLEVEL=(1,1) means print all messages for both the job itself and all job steps. Option A correctly shows this default behavior.
AI explanation
If MSGLEVEL is omitted from the JOB statement, the system defaults to MSGLEVEL=(1,1), which means both job statements and allocation/termination messages are printed along with any condition codes, ensuring you still get a reasonably complete log by default. This default exists precisely so that omitting the parameter doesn't silently suppress important job output.
