Answer 1

The correct choice is (a) When mouse is no longer over an element

The explanation is: When the mouse moves so that it is no longer over an element, the browser fires a mouseout event on that element. The mouseout() method triggers the mouseout event, or attaches a function to run when a mouseout event occurs
