C Correct answer
Explanation

The document type declaration (DOCTYPE) informs the parser or markup processor about the specific rules and DTD/schema to use when interpreting the document's tags. While the language version is related, it is the DOCTYPE declaration itself that explicitly instructs the processor. Tag types alone do not define interpretation rules.
