In order to apply a namespace to an XML document, the namespace must first be declared using the “xmlns” attribute. This attribute is added to the root element of the XML document and specifies the namespace URI. Once the namespace is declared, the elements and attributes within the document that belong to the namespace can be identified and marked as such by prefixing them with the namespace prefix declared in the “xmlns” attribute. Therefore, the correct choice is A) declaring the namespace.
