• B. JSON objects are an ordered set of element attributes whereas XML arrays are an unordered set of key-value pairs.
• C. The syntax of XML contains tags, elements, and attributes whereas JSON objects are collections of key-value pairs.
• D. JSON arrays are an unordered set of key-value pairs whereas XML objects are an ordered set of element attributes.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Answer C is correct because XML is characterized by its use of tags, elements, and attributes, while JSON is based on key-value pairs. The other options misrepresent the structures of JSON and XML, incorrectly describing their characteristics and how they organize data.
