Question

(b) stops writing in the current text direction

(c) only override direction of rtl text

(d) only changes the direction of ltr text

The question was asked during an interview.

I'd like to ask this question from Fonts in HTML in portion HTML Fonts, Tags and Elements of HTML

Answer 1

Right answer is (a) override text direction

Easy explanation: For bidirectional override of current text direction, we used <bdo> element, e.g. <bdo dir=”rtl”>Text is right to left</bdo>. This element was already there before HTML5. It is supported by all the browsers.
