Option C is correct because it involves two steps that together accomplish the goal: first, splitting the file by REGION ensures that the analysis is done separately for each region. Second, setting Select Cases to "YEAROFBIRTH < 1950" filters the data to include only those persons born before 1950. This combination precisely meets the requirements.
