This question was posed to me in a job interview.

My enquiry is from Web Browsers in portion HTML Fundamentals of HTML

Answer 1

The correct answer is (d) parsing style information (CSS only)

To explain I would say: A rendering engine is a software that draws text and images on the screen. The engine draws structured text from a document (HTML, XML) and formats it properly based on the given style declarations (CSS, XSL, etc). The primary job of a browser engine is to transform HTML documents and other resources of a web page into an interactive visual representation on a user’s device.
