The correct answer is SOAP cannot be carried over the FTP protocol.

The statement SOAP cannot be carried over the FTP protocol is false because SOAP is a transport independent XML messaging protocol that defines an envelope and message structure. The SOAP envelope can be placed into messages transported by HTTP SMTP FTP or other bindings so HTTP is the most common transport but it is not the only option.

REST typically communicates using the HTTP protocol is not the false statement because REST is an architectural style that commonly maps to HTTP verbs and URIs. In practice most RESTful APIs use HTTP methods such as GET POST PUT and DELETE and so that statement is accurate.

REST supports multiple data formats such as XML JSON and plain text is not the false statement because REST relies on content negotiation and media types. REST APIs commonly exchange JSON XML or plain text and the client and server use headers to agree the format.

SOAP encapsulates its payload inside a SOAP envelope is not the false statement because a SOAP message is an XML document that must include an Envelope element which contains a Body with the application payload and an optional Header. That envelope structure is a defining feature of SOAP.
