Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

The dim function in SAS requires a valid array name as its argument to return the number of elements. Using dim(*) is syntactically invalid and causes an error. In contrast, dim(tmp), a list of explicit indices 1,2,3,4, or the range 1 to 4 correctly reference all four array elements.
