Question

The ______________ parameter identifies a character encoding, which is a method of converting a sequence of bytes into a sequence of characters.

(a) class

(b) element

(c) charset

(d) attribute

I got this question in an interview for job.

This key question is from Reading a Document Type Definition topic in portion HTML Fonts, Tags and Elements of HTML

Answer 1

The correct choice is (c) charset

To elaborate: Class is an attribute and can be used on any HTML element. Property of an element is defined by attribute. To display an HTML page correctly, a web browser must know the character set (character encoding) to use. @charset “UTF-8”; is a string.
