Answer 1

The correct choice is (a) The value is the value of the element’s value attribute if it has one, or the empty string otherwise

To elaborate: The “itemprop” attribute is a global attribute which adds properties to item. When the property value of a name-value pair added by an element with an itemprop attribute which is a data element then the value is the value of the element’s value attribute if it has one, or the empty string otherwise.
