Answer is D.

In a mathematical expression (using arithmetic operators), if one of the operand's values is missing then the value of result is set to missing.

When you use a missing value in an arithmetic expression, SAS sets the result of the expression to missing. If you use that result in another expression, the next result is also missing. In SAS, this method of treating missing values is called propagation of missing values.
