Explanation
A SOAP message is an XML document with a defined structure consisting of three valid parts: Envelope, Header, and Body. The Envelope is the mandatory root element that wraps the entire message and declares it as a SOAP document. The Body is also required and carries the actual payload - the request or response data. The Header is optional but officially part of the SOAP specification, used for metadata like authentication tokens or transaction IDs.
Footer (D) is wrong because SOAP has no such element - this is a common distractor borrowed from HTML/email conventions, but it does not exist in the SOAP specification.
Memory tip: Think of SOAP as a physical letter - the Envelope is the outer wrapper, the Header is the address/metadata at the top, and the Body is the letter's content inside. No footer needed - once the body ends, the envelope closes.
