Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Concept: In HTML, the HEIGHT, WIDTH, and BORDER attributes of the <IMG> tag accept a plain numeric value with no unit suffix. When no unit is given, browsers interpret that number as a pixel (px) value by default — never as centimetres, millimetres, or a colour code. (A colour needs a separate attribute value format, such as a hex code, not a bare integer.)
Application: Trace the tag in this snippet: <IMG SRC="FLOWER.JPG" HEIGHT="100" WIDTH="40" BORDER="10">.
HEIGHT="100" → no unit given → interpreted as 100 pixels of height.
WIDTH="40" → no unit given → interpreted as 40 pixels of width.
BORDER="10" → no unit given → interpreted as a 10-pixel-thick border drawn around the image.
Cross-check: None of these three values carries a unit suffix (no "cm", "mm", or colour notation appears anywhere in the tag), so the centimetre and millimetre readings are ruled out by the same default-unit rule, and the RGB-code reading is ruled out because BORDER only ever sets a thickness, never a colour. The image therefore renders 100 px tall, 40 px wide, with a 10 px border — matching the pixel-only interpretation.
