Explanation

The QUOTE function in DataStage evaluates its argument first, then wraps the result in double quotes. QUOTE(12 + 5) evaluates 12+5=17, then wraps it to produce "17". Option A incorrectly quotes the expression itself without evaluation, option C uses single quotes (not standard QUOTE output), and option D has unbalanced quotes.
