Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Answer: The first anchor uses the href attribute and the second uses the name attribute.

  • Linking anchor (uses href): example <a href="#section1">Go to section</a>

  • Destination anchor (uses name): example <a name="section1"></a>

  • Modern HTML note: the name attribute on anchors is deprecated in HTML5. Prefer using id on any element as the fragment target and link to it with href. Example <h2 id="section1">Section</h2> and <a href="#section1">Go to section</a>

Therefore the correct pairing is href on the linking anchor and name on the target (commonly implemented today using id for the target).
