A Correct answer
Explanation

Windows XP was codenamed 'Whistler' during development, named after the ski resort in British Columbia where the development team held a retreat. The letters 'XP' do not stand for eXtra Powerful or eXPerienced - they were chosen to sound modern and tech-forward, not as an acronym.
