A.
Use the gacutil.exe command-line tool.

B.
Use the xsd.exe command-line tool.

C.
Use the aspnet_regiis.exe command-line tool.

D.
Use assembly attributes.

Explanation:
The Windows Software Development Kit (SDK) provides several ways to sign an assembly
with a strong name:
* Using the Assembly Linker (Al.exe) provided by the Windows SDK.
* Using assembly attributes to insert the strong name information in your code. You can use
either the AssemblyKeyFileAttribute or the AssemblyKeyNameAttribute, depending on where
the key file to be used is located.
* Using compiler options such /keyfile or /delaysign in C# and Visual Basic, or the /KEYFILE
or /DELAYSIGN linker option in C++. (For information on delay signing, see Delay Signing
an Assembly.)
Note:
* A strong name consists of the assembly’s identity—its simple text name, version number,
and culture information (if provided)—plus a public key and a digital signature. It is
generated from an assembly file (the file that contains the assembly manifest, which in turn
contains the names and hashes of all the files that make up the assembly), using the
corresponding private key. Microsoft® Visual Studio® .NET and other development tools
provided in the .NET Framework SDK can assign strong names to an assembly. Assemblies
with the same strong name are expected to be identical.
