Explanation

OVAL (Open Vulnerability and Assessment Language) produces output in XML format, which is structured but not easily readable by humans in its raw form. A plain text editor (A) can open and display the raw XML content, making the data at least legible even if not visually formatted. An SCAP tool (E) is the purpose-built solution: SCAP (Security Content Automation Protocol) tools are designed specifically to ingest, parse, and display OVAL results in a meaningful, human-readable format with severity ratings and remediation context. An XML stylesheet (D) would also technically work but is not listed as a correct answer here. Options B, C, and F are not applicable to XML-based OVAL output.
