ANSWER: A

Example:
using System.IO;
using System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Binary;

class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
string data = "Welcome to the CareerRide.com .";
// Create file to save the data
FileStream fs = new FileStream("c:\\data.txt", FileMode.Create);
// Create a BinaryFormatter object to perform the serialization process
BinaryFormatter obj = new BinaryFormatter();
// Use the BinaryFormatter object to serialize the data to the file
obj.Serialize(fs, data);
// Close the file
fs.Close();
}
}

If you run the above code and open the Data.txt file, you will see the contents of the string you stored surrounded with binary information to describe the data for the deserialization.
