Option C is a bit of a head-scratcher. 'mode1 resp(event= '1') = gender region'? I think I'll stick with B.

D has an interesting syntax, but I'm not sure if that's the right way to get the ROC stats. I'd go with B to be safe.

Yeah, D might be a bit confusing. B is the way to go for sure.

Option A looks good too, but I'm not sure if the OUT= option will actually generate the ROC statistics. B seems more specific.

But doesn't option A) provide the sensitivity and specificity statistics for different cutoff values?

I disagree, I believe option B) Score data=valid1 outroc=roc; is the correct choice.

I think option B is the correct one. The SCORE statement with the OUTROC= option will generate the sensitivity and specificity statistics for the validation data set.
