D Correct answer
Explanation

The START statement in COBOL does not allow the '<=' (less than or equal to) relational operator. START is used to position an indexed file at a specific key value, and it only supports operators like '=', '>', and '<'. The '<=' operator is not valid syntax for the START statement.
