Answer 1

Correct choice is (a) Text

The best I can explain: Text input type defines single line text field. Type is the attribute that displays type of <input> elements. Its default type is text. It is supported by most of the browsers like Chrome, Internet Explorer, Firefox, Opera.  Syntax is: <form action=”jump.php”> Name:<input type=”text” name=”name”>  </form> A password field is defined by password input.
