A
16
💡 Explanation:
Historically, IBM mainframe operating systems limited PDS (Partitioned Data Set) concatenations to a maximum of 16 datasets. Although modern z/OS environments support up to 255 extents and datasets in a concatenation, 16 remains the standard correct answer in legacy exams and textbooks.
