B . Binary encoded
C . 509 certificate
D . Binary encoded

Answer: E
Explanation:
The PKCS#7 or P7B format is usually stored in Base64 ASCII format and has a file extension of .p7b or .p7c. P7B certificates contain "—–BEGIN PKCS7—–" and "—–END PKCS7—–" statements. A P7B file only contains certificates and chain certificates, not the private key. Several platforms support P7B files including Microsoft Windows and Java Tomcat.
