Explanation

Operations are the building blocks of a WSDL document - each operation maps directly to a callable function exposed by the web service, defining its input/output messages and communication pattern (request-response, one-way, etc.). Namespaces (B) are XML mechanisms for avoiding element name conflicts and are used within WSDL but don't represent service functions. Extensions (C) are not a core WSDL construct for defining service capabilities. Types (D) define the data structures (like XML Schema types) used by messages, not the functions themselves.

Memory tip: Think of Operations = Orders you can place with the service - each one is a specific action you can request it to perform.
