Which LABEL statement has correct syntax?

In SAS, the correct syntax for assigning labels to variables is to use the LABEL statement within a DATA step or a PROC step. Labels are assigned to variables using the format variable='label'. The correct syntax for the LABEL statement is represented by option B.

Here’s the breakdown:

FName=’First Name’ correctly assigns the label First Name to the variable FName.

LName=’Last Name’ correctly assigns the label Last Name to the variable LName.

Each variable and label pair is separated by a space, and the overall statement ends with a semicolon, which is the proper syntax for a LABEL statement in SAS.

Options A, C, and D are incorrect due to various syntax errors like the use of the wrong character for the apostrophe, missing apostrophes, incorrect punctuation, and in the case of option C, an incorrect conjunction ‘and’ which is not used in LABEL statements.
