Answer 1

Correct option is (c) specify the path to an audio file

The explanation is: src attribute basically specifies a path to the audio file. It is also used by <source> element which indicates where the audio file is located. Autoplay attribute starts playing audio automatically, loop plays audio again after it finishes.
