C Correct answer
Explanation

The .doc extension was the default file format for Microsoft Word documents from Word 97 through Word 2003. When Office 2007 introduced the XML-based .docx format, .doc became the 'legacy' format but remained widely supported. While .txt is plain text and .wrd is not a standard Word extension, .doc is the historically correct answer for Word's default extension. Modern Word uses .docx by default.
