• A. Hyper Text Markup Language
• B. High Technology Machine Language
• C. Hardware Transfer Management Logic
• D. Host Terminal Maintenance Link

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

HTML is the standard markup language used to create and structure web pages. It defines the content and layout of a webpage using elements such as headings, paragraphs, images, links, and tables.

Let us examine each option:

Option (1): Hyper Text Markup Language
HTML stands for Hyper Text Markup Language.
"HyperText" refers to text containing links to other pages, while "Markup Language" uses tags to structure web content.
Therefore, this is the correct answer.

Option (2): High Technology Machine Language
This is not the full form of HTML and is not a recognized computing term.

Option (3): Hardware Transfer Management Logic
This expansion is incorrect and unrelated to web development.

Option (4): Host Terminal Maintenance Link
This is also an incorrect expansion of HTML.

Therefore, HTML stands for: \[ \boxed{\text{Hyper Text Markup Language}} \] Hence, the correct answer is Option (1) – Hyper Text Markup Language.
