Why each option
The exhibit displays data wrapped in hierarchical opening and closing tags, which is the defining characteristic of XML (Extensible Markup Language).
JSON uses curly braces and key-value pairs with colons, not opening and closing tags.
HTML also uses tags but is specifically designed for web page rendering and includes predefined elements like <html>, <body>, and <p>, not arbitrary custom tags.
XML structures data using custom, hierarchical tags with explicit opening and closing elements such as <element>value</element>. Unlike JSON or CSV, XML uses a tag-based syntax that wraps each data value in named elements, making it human-readable and self-describing. This tag-based structure is the key distinguishing feature visible in the exhibit.
CSV represents data as plain text with values separated by commas, with no tags or markup of any kind.
