Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Answer: location.reload() Explanation: The location.reload() method reloads the current webpage, similar to clicking the browser's Refresh button.

Equivalent forms: you can call it as location.reload() or window.location.reload().

Force reload note: some older code uses location.reload(true) to force reload from the server, but support varies across browsers; do not rely on it for critical behavior.

Other ways to trigger a reload include setting location.href = location.href or using history.go(0), but location.reload() is the standard, clear method for reloading the page.

Incorrect choices: window.reload(), window.refresh(), and page.refresh() are not standard browser methods for reloading the current page.
