A Correct answer
Explanation

SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol) is the complete web service framework that defines the XML message format, HTTP binding conventions, and RPC representation standards. XML (B) is just the data encoding format, UDDI (C) is for service discovery registry, and WSDL (D) describes the service interface but not the message protocol itself.
