B
Correct answer
Explanation
The claimed answer B (eXtensible Markup Language) is correct. XML stands for eXtensible Markup Language, named because it allows users to define their own custom markup tags (extensibility). Options A, C, and D are incorrect as they are made-up expansions that don't represent the actual acronym.
AI explanation
XML stands for eXtensible Markup Language — "extensible" because, unlike HTML, it doesn't have a fixed set of tags and lets users define their own custom tags and document structure. The other options are not real expansions of the XML acronym.
