My doubt is from The Window Object in section Document Object Model and Event Handling in Javascript of JavaScript

Answer 1

Right answer is (b) Loading of window and display

Explanation: The assign() method of the Location object makes the window load and display the document at the URL you specify. The difference between this method and replace(), is that replace() removes the URL of the current document from the document history, meaning that it is not possible to use the “back” button to navigate back to the original document.
