Hi chandra, a war is nothing but an archive of the web application's directory
My answer is C.

D would be required if your app has some class files as well.

[Amol Nayak]

Sorry, its D and not C.

And its E for the second one..

Hi,

the letter c is wrong. The 'MANIFEST' file contains only the dependencies of classes...
I think the correct is "D" because the WAR file is the entire web project and any web project has a web.xml

Hi Chandra

What does WAR stands for???
-It's Web Archive.
What's it purpose?
-packaging of web application for importing and deployment.

Then what must be present in a Web Archive file??
- It's web.xml.
Where should it be present?
- In WEB-INF.

So What should be the answer??
- It's /WEB-INF/web.xml

Also it may contain METAINF.MF file for defining external library dependency.
But that should be present in META-INF directory under context root directly.
And it's presence is not imperative too.
