Best answer
The correct option is (a) Browser finds the document in quirky mode

Best explanation: If the browser finds <!doctype html> in the starting of an HTML document it sets the document in standard mode but if one does not use a doctype, the browser goes to quirky mode. In this mode, certain content will not be displayed as per one wrote that. So it is always recommended to write a doctype at the very start of the HTML document.
