Correct answer: B
Explanation
Correct Answer:
UTF-8 is correct.
In 1992, lots of work started on streamlining Unicode transmission, since Unicode needed to be compatible with ASCII for transmission over the Internet. In January of 1993, UTF-8 was presented officially at the USENIX conference in San Diego to solve this problem. It was developed to encode UTF characters in a way that could be accepted and decoded by ASCII systems. Per Google, UTF-8 is the dominant character encoding on the Web.
