Explanation
WireShark saves network packet captures in the PCAP (Packet Capture) format, which is the industry-standard format for storing captured network traffic - making B correct. Option A (.ws) is not a real file format; WireShark uses .pcapng or .pcap, not .ws. Option C (.rar) is a compression archive format unrelated to packet captures, and Option D (.jpg) is an image format - neither has anything to do with network traces.
Memory tip: Think "Packet CAPture = PCAP" - the file extension literally describes what WireShark does: it captures packets. If you remember that WireShark is a packet capture tool, the file format name follows naturally.
