350-601 Question #246: Real Exam Question with Answer & Explanation

Question

In this data structure, what is the XML terminology for the currency="usd" code snippet?

Options

• Aattribute
• Broot element end tag
• Croot element start tag
• Dcharacter

Explanation

In XML, currency="usd" represents an attribute, which provides additional information or properties for an element within its start tag.

Common mistakes.

• B. A root element end tag closes the top-level element, appearing as </root_element_name>.
• C. A root element start tag opens the top-level element, appearing as <root_element_name attribute="value">. While attributes are placed within a start tag, the snippet currency="usd" itself is not the entire start tag.
• D. 'Character' is too broad and refers to individual letters or symbols, not the structured XML component represented by currency="usd".
