C Correct answer
Explanation

In Unix-like shells, suspended or background jobs are referenced using the job specifier prefix %. Therefore, kill %3 sends the termination signal to job number three. The prefix $ is for variables, while &lt;&lt; and # are syntactically incorrect for referencing job IDs.
