Question

Select the true statement about HTML. HTML stands for hidden transfer markup language. The web consists of documents written in HTTP and transmitted by HTML. An HTML tag initiates a protocol known as TCP/IP. The final product transmitted to a browser is in HTML.

a) HTML stands for hidden transfer markup language.
b) The web consists of documents written in HTTP and transmitted by HTML.
c) An HTML tag initiates a protocol known as TCP/IP.
d) The final product transmitted to a browser is in HTML.

Answer 1

The final product transmitted to a web browser is in HTML. HTML, developed by Tim Berners-Lee at CERN, is the language used for documents on the web, while HTTP is the protocol for transferring these documents.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct statement about HTML is: The final product transmitted to a browser is in HTML. HTML stands for Hypertext Markup Language, not 'hidden transfer markup language', and it is the standard markup language for documents designed to be displayed in a web browser. Tim Berners-Lee, while working at CERN, developed HTML as one of the three foundational technologies of the World Wide Web. HTML documents can be transmitted over the internet using the HTTP protocol, but it is inaccurate to say that the web consists of documents written in HTTP. HTTP is a protocol used for transferring the documents, while the documents themselves are written in HTML. Furthermore, an HTML tag does not initiate the TCP/IP protocols; TCP/IP is a set of networking protocols that underlie the internet and allows the connection between the sender and receiver.
