Explanation

Strong name is a name consisting of an assembly's identity, public key, and digital signature. It includes the assembly's name, version number, and other related information (if any). Assemblies are identical, if they have the same strong name. Answer: A is incorrect. The AssemblyVersionAttribute class specifies the version of the assembly being attributed. The version number is part of an assembly's identity and plays a vital role in binding to the assembly and in version policy. The default version policy for the runtime is that applications run only with the versions they were built and tested with, unless overridden by explicit version policy in configuration files. The version number has four parts, which are as follows: Note: Version checking only occurs with strong-named assemblies. Answer: D is incorrect. Global assembly cache (GAC) is a machine-wide cache. It stores assemblies that are designed to be shared amongst multiple applications on a computer. All assemblies stored in the global assembly cache must have strong names. Answer: C is incorrect. A primary interop assembly is an exclusive assembly that is supplied by a vendor. It holds type definitions (as metadata) of types implemented with COM.
