ITPEC IP April 2018 Question 9
ITPEC IP April 2018 — Question 9 of 100
XML describes logical structure by enclosing document elements with tags. Start and end tags give names and boundaries to elements, and nested elements represent hierarchical relationships such as a sentence containing clauses or other components.
Answer (c)
Why not others:
- quotation marks normally delimit attribute values or text literals, not the document hierarchy
- commas can separate values but do not define an XML tree
- tabs are whitespace for formatting and do not establish logical XML structure
Key rule: XML represents structured data as a hierarchy of properly nested tagged elements, optionally with attributes.
