D Correct answer
Explanation

SOAP can run over HTTP (or SMTP), and SSL/TLS can secure SOAP over HTTP. SAML is an identity framework that can work alongside SOAP for authentication and authorization. All three pairings are valid: SOAP uses HTTP as a transport protocol, SSL/TLS provides encryption for SOAP messages, and SAML integrates with SOAP for identity assertions. The combination of all three protocols is commonly used in enterprise web services.
