Answer 1

Right option is (c) canvas

To elaborate: Metdata gives data or information of other data. CSS i.e. Cascading Style Sheets is a style sheet language. Canvas is introduced in HTML5 for providing/drawing graphics. The canvas element is part of HTML5 and allows for dynamic, scriptable rendering of 2D shapes and bitmap images.
