To determine the number of bytes occupied by a field with a specific format, we need to consider the format and the type of field.

In this case, the field format is S9(7) SIGN TRAILING SEPARATE. Let's break down the format:

• S9: This indicates a signed numeric field with 1 digit for the sign (positive or negative) and 1 digit for the value.
• (7): This indicates that the field has a maximum length of 7 digits.

Since each digit occupies 1 byte of storage, and the sign occupies an additional byte, the total number of bytes occupied by the field is:

7 digits + 1 sign = 8 bytes

Therefore, the correct answer is C) 8.
