Final answer:

To link to a section on the same page, add the 'href' attribute to an anchor tag with a value pointing to the desired section's ID preceded by the hash (#) symbol.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct answer to the student's question is A) Add the 'href' attribute and set it to the ID of the target section. To create an anchor that links to a different section on the same page, you would add the href attribute to the opening tag of an anchor (<a>) element. The value of the href attribute should be a hash symbol (#) followed by the id of the element you want to link to. For example, if you have a section with an ID of 'section2', the anchor tag would look like <a href="#section2">Link Text</a>. The 'target' attribute is used to specify where to open the linked document, '_self' would open the link in the same frame or window. The anchor element does not necessarily require wrapping with another tag, nor does this task require JavaScript.
