Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Concept: An HTML <input> element's type attribute only accepts a fixed, pre-defined set of values (checkbox, radio, text, submit, etc.); a form's method attribute accepts either GET or POST, and both are equally valid ways to submit a form — neither one is a required correction over the other.
Application: In the code, <INPUT TYPE=CHECKSELECT> uses CHECKSELECT, which is not one of HTML's valid input types — this is the actual defect, and it should be written as type="checkbox". The rest of the markup is standard: <FORM ID="FORM1" METHOD=POST> uses a legal id attribute and a legal METHOD=POST value.
Cross-check: Statement (A), "CHECKBOX should be used instead of CHECKSELECT," matches this real defect exactly. Statement (B), "METHOD=GET should be used instead of POST," proposes a change to a value that was never wrong, so it does not describe an actual error.
Final answer: Only statement (A) is correct.
