A Correct answer
Explanation

IIS 6.0 stores its configuration in an XML file called 'metabase.xml' located in the %SystemRoot%\system32\inetsrv\ directory. Unlike earlier versions of IIS that used a binary metabase format, IIS 6.0 made the configuration human-readable and editable XML. This was a significant improvement for administration and backup/recovery. Note that IIS 7.0 and later moved to a different configuration system using .config XML files instead.
