The XML declaration is commonly mistaken for a processing instruction as it looks like one, however it is not.

    <order strength="firm">
        <item>widget-LH-metric</item>

    </order>
    <order strength="firm">
        <item>tap</item>
        <number></number>

</block>

Name the root element: Block

 <zoo> 
     <animalStock> 
         <animal type="lion">white</animal> 
         <count>3</count>
     </animalStock> 
 </zoo>

Your Answer: Invalid.

 <zoo> 
     <animalStock>

Answered to the best of my knowledge so I may be wrong, but google rarely is.

[czxzxcXZ]

So, is DTD itself a well-formed XML document? (for choice of B in question above?)

[Mike Askew]

I would say no.
