Why is XML a good way to transfer text-based data from one program or tool to another?

  1. XML imposes important limitations on the receiving program or tool.

  2. The receiving program or tool can use the XML tagging information to determine how to best handle the incoming data.

  3. XML tags offer an extra level of security.

  4. XML tags specify to the receiving program or tool exactly how to format and display the data.

B Correct answer
Explanation

XML uses custom, self-describing tags to define data structures. The receiving application parses these tags to interpret the data's semantic meaning and process it accordingly. XML does not specify visual formatting or provide built-in security features.
