Answer: C
Reasoning: In creating reports for SAS programs, the SUM
statement is used to create column totals for numeric values.

couldn't it be D?
sum(3,5,6,7,8,9) can find the total of mutiple values.

in the following program, w is the sum of three variables.

data sum;
input x y z;
w=sum(x,y,z);
datalines;
2345 20897 4234
;

So i think the answer is D.
