Answer options

• C. The ETag has a Weak validator directive, which is a mandatory directive.
• D. The ETag has a Strong validator directive, which it is incorrectly formatted.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because the 'W/' prefix indicates that the ETag is a Weak validator, which is indeed an optional directive. Options A and C incorrectly classify the ETag as a Strong validator, while D misrepresents the format as incorrect.
