This question was posed to me by my college professor while I was bunking the class.

Answer 1

The correct option is (c) mark

For explanation I would say: <em> tag convert the font in italic one. The <strong> tag is used to denote the importance of text. <bold> tag is used to make the text bold in font size. The mark tag defines marked text and is used to highlight parts of your text.
