Exporting the query results to HTML documents would be the best method to use because HTML is the standard format for displaying information on the web and it can easily be viewed using a web browser. Option A and C would require the recipient to have knowledge on how to import the XML document into a database and manipulate the data using SQL commands. Option B would require the recipient to have knowledge of XSLT and CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) in order to format the data for display in a web browser, which may not be feasible for all users.
