SOAP stands for Simple Object Access Protocol, which is a protocol for exchanging structured information in web services1. Some of the advantages of SOAP are:

• It can overcome the limitations of firewalls and proxy servers that block RPCs by using HTTP as a transport protocol2.
• It is platform and programming language independent because it uses XML as a data format, which is widely supported by various technologies3.
• It can communicate between two client machines across any modern network by using standard protocols such as HTTP, SMTP, or FTP4.

Option B is incorrect because SOAP does not act like a cleaning agent to remove excess data from the transmission protocol. SOAP messages can be verbose and contain a lot of metadata that may increase the bandwidth and processing overhead.

Option D is incorrect because SOAP stands for Simple Object Access Protocol, not Simple Object Application Protocol.
