A Correct answer
Explanation

In literal format (the modern WS-I compliant approach), the client and service exchange data as plain XML documents that conform to an XML Schema. This contrasts with encoded format where data is represented using SOAP's serialization rules (Section 5) as objects/structures. Literal format treats the XML as the actual data contract.
