a copybook that contains db2 statements - sql and not ddl?

if the db2 statements need to be precompiled, then d.
if the db2 statements are already precompiled, then e. copy statement at appropriate place.

db2 declares in data division do not have to be positioned before or after the sqlca.

a. is no good, there is executable code in the copybook, so it must be someplace in procedure division. again, position with sqlca is not a valid statement.

b. is an inaccurate statement.

c. makes no sense.

d. is the only answer that comes close.

this post reeks of classroom work.
RTFM
