Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 3 : Extensible HyperText Markup Language

The correct answer is Extensible HyperText Markup Language.

• Extensible hypertext markup language (XHTML) is a hybrid language between XML and HTML and is also an accepted standard in the coding world.
• It is similar to HTML 4.01 and is considered as HTML defined as an application of XML.
• Unlike HTML, XHTML pages have a strict syntax and need to be well-formed in order to be parsed using XML parsers, unlike the more lenient HTML specific parsers.
• Features of XHTML:​​
  • Unlike HTML, which is standard generalized markup language based, XHTML is XML-based.
  • Compared to the rules of HTML, XHTML is stricter and does not allow any lapses in coding or structure.
  • It prohibits the omission of any tags or usage of attribute minimization. All elements in XHTML must have a starting or ending tag.
  • It is a restrictive subset of XML and needs to be parsed with help of standard XML parsers.
  • XHTML documents have only one root element.
