Correct answer: C
Concept
A Unicode encoding form defines how Unicode code points are represented as code units. UTF names identify the code-unit width, and a byte-oriented form uses 8-bit units that align with ordinary bytes.
Application
Among the offered values, UTF-8 is the standardized Unicode encoding form. It represents a code point with a sequence of one to four 8-bit code units, so it is widely used for text interchange.
Contrast
UTF-17 would imply a 17-bit code unit; this is not a Unicode Standard encoding form.
UTF-61 would imply a 61-bit code unit; this is not a Unicode Standard encoding form.
UTF-35 would imply a 35-bit code unit; this is not a Unicode Standard encoding form.
Cross-check
The Unicode Standard defines UTF-8, UTF-16, and UTF-32 encoding forms. Of the values offered here, only UTF-8 belongs to that standardized set; therefore the result is UTF-8.
