-May has heard that XPath 2.0 allows an application to retrieve data from multiple document sources. She would like to be able to retrieve data from all XML files in the same folder as the current style sheet. You suggest she use the function _____ to enable this situation.
A) collection('/?select=*.xml')
B) document() '.?select=*.xml')
C) collection('.?select=*.xml')
D) document() '/?select=*.xml')

The correct function to use in this situation is the collection() function. The argument passed to the function should be a URI that identifies a collection of documents. In this case, the URI should be set to '.' to represent the current folder, and the select parameter should be set to '*.xml' to retrieve all XML files in the folder. Therefore, the correct syntax for this function is collection('.?select=*.xml'). Option A and D are incorrect because they use a forward slash instead of a period to represent the current folder, and they also have an invalid syntax for the select parameter. Option B is incorrect because it uses the document() function instead of the collection() function.
