B Correct answer
Explanation

Web services are an implementation of SOA principles, but they are not synonymous with SOA itself. SOA (Service-Oriented Architecture) is a broader architectural style and design paradigm for building distributed systems. Web services are one of several possible ways to implement SOA - others include REST services, gRPC, CORBA (older), and other messaging technologies. While web services follow SOA principles, saying web services are SOA is like saying HTML is the web.
