C.The job can be in the active or running state for a maximum of 30 minutes.
D.The job will automatically start in 30 minutes.
E.None of these

Correct Answer: C 
The maxWallClockTime property is the optional property that sets the maximum amount of time a job can run for. As the time exceeds or the job doesn`t complete in the specified time, the job is terminated. If you don’t set this property, then the job has no time limit.
Option A is incorrect. The maxWallClockTime property specifies the maximum time for which a job can be in a running state.
Option B is incorrect. maxWallClockTime property does not specify the time limit for the inactive state of any job.
Option C is correct. Setting maxWallClockTime property to 30 minutes specifies that the job can be in the active or running state for a maximum of 30 minutes
Option D is incorrect. maxWallClockTime property does not specify the time after which the job will automatically start.
Option E is incorrect. Setting maxWallClockTime property to 30 minutes specifies that the job can be in the active or running state for a maximum of 30 minutes
