B Correct answer
Explanation

A master file contains permanent, relatively stable data that persists over time and serves as the primary reference for an organization's operations. Examples include customer master files, product inventory files, and employee records. Unlike temporary files (logs, updates), master files are perpetual and continuously updated with valid changes rather than being recreated periodically.
