What is the purpose of the responseText property?
responseText holds the body content of the response. See AJAX Response Handling for more info.
How can we retrieve a parsed version of an XML response?
The property responseXML holds a parsed XMLDocument object for the returned XML response.
What is the value of resp in the following code?
var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();

// request the HTML file foods.html
xhr.open("GET", "foods.html", true);

xhr.onreadystatechange = function() {
    if (this.readyState === 4 && this.status === 200) {
        var resp = this.responseXML;
    }
}

xhr.send();
Choice (A) is incorrect here, because to get a parsed HTML response we need to set the responseType property to "document". See AJAX HTML Responses for more info.
What does the method getResponseHeader() do?
getResponseHeader() returns the value of a given header; thus going with choice (A) here. See AJAX Response Headers for more info.
What do we need to do in order to get an HTML document as a parsed Document object?
See AJAX HTML Responses for more info.
