Correct answer: C
Correct answer: (B) and (C) Only.
Statement about XML being a set of tags for browser display: False. That describes HTML, which is intended for presentation in browsers. XML is designed to represent and transport structured data, not to specify presentation.
Statement that XML defines a syntax for representing data and meaning varies by application: True. XML defines rules for markup (well-formedness and structure). The semantics of the markup are defined by the application, schema, or conventions that use the XML.
Statement that <Letter>, <LETTER> and <letter> are three different tags: True. XML is case-sensitive, so tag names that differ only by letter case are considered distinct elements.
Therefore the only correct combination is the one that includes the data-syntax statement and the case-sensitivity statement, and excludes the presentation-oriented statement.
