If we would use sql azure database than B would be OK.
But we are using data from azure datamarket. Here data is available in ODATA format which is a specific XML. Also a query would be encapsulated in XML (you can specify filters, authentication and so on)

If we would use sql azure database… but we are not.
Data in azure datamarket is available in OData format what is a kind of XML. Also query ia an XML, where you can put information what data should be downloaded, which authentication to use, which filter to apply. So XML is correct answer.
