Answer 1

Correct answer is (d) both div and span

The best explanation: The div element and span element are block and inline elements, respectively, that have no particular rendering. You might call them generic tags. Because these tags don’t have any predefined meaning or rendering, they are very useful for arbitrary style duties.
