For the XML parser to ignore a certain section of your XML document, which syntax is correct?
-
<![CDATA[ Text to be ignored ]]>
-
<xml:CDATA[ Text to be ignored ]>
-
<PCDATA> Text to be ignored </PCDATA>
-
<CDATA> Text to be ignored </CDATA>
CDATA (Character Data) sections use the syntax `to tell the XML parser to treat the enclosed content as literal text, ignoring any special characters like<,>, or&that would normally be interpreted as markup. The other options either use incorrect prefixes (xml:), wrong element names (PCDATA), or missing the required![` sequence.

Option B)
