Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Concept
HTML provides <ol> for ordered lists and <ul> for unordered lists. In the conventional default browser presentation, ordered lists use numbering while unordered lists use bullet markers.
CSS can restyle list markers, so the stem explicitly asks about the default HTML presentation rather than every styling override that CSS can produce.
Application
The stem specifies the default bullet-marker presentation and names filled circle, open circle, and square. Those are the conventional markers of an unordered list, so the required value is Unordered list.
Contrast
Ordered list: represents a meaningful sequence and normally uses ordered markers such as numerals or letters.
Vertical list: describes a CSS layout direction, not a distinct HTML list-element model.
Horizontal list: describes a CSS layout direction, not a distinct HTML list-element model.
Cross-check and result
Without a CSS override, an unordered list is rendered with a bullet marker; its marker style can then be changed among disc, circle, and square. Therefore, the answer is Unordered list.
