Question

Which of the following is used as a language for designing web pages ?

• A. HTTP
• B. HTML
• C. SSL
• D. SMTP

Answer 1

Answer:

B. HTML

HTML stands for HyperText Markup Language. It is the standard language used to create the structure and layout of web pages. It uses "tags" (like <h1>, <p>, <a>) to define elements such as headings, paragraphs, links, and images, allowing web browsers to render the content correctly.

• Why the other options are incorrect:

  • (HTTP): HyperText Transfer Protocol is the underlying protocol used by the World Wide Web to define how messages are formatted and transmitted, and what actions web servers and browsers should take in response to various commands. It is a communication protocol, not a design language.

  • (SSL): Secure Sockets Layer is a standard security technology for establishing an encrypted link between a web server and a browser, ensuring that all data passed remains private and integral.

  • (SMTP): Simple Mail Transfer Protocol is a communication protocol specifically used for sending email messages across the internet.
