Study the documentation of the macro character functions and data step character functions, so you find the corresponding ones.

Then compare the macro functions with the data step functions, and you'll find the answer yourselves. If the answer you find is different from the answer given in the quiz, and you can't find out why, come back here and ask for the reason.

Doing things like that (studying documentation) is fun for me; if it's not for you, you should seriously consider work in another field far removed from programming and SAS (basically, computing as such)
