Introduction to Programming Using HTML and CSS — Question 10

This question requires that you evaluate the underlined text to determine if it is correct.
Static positioning places an element at specific coordinates relative to the page or the element's container.
Review the underlined text. If it makes the statement correct, select "No change is needed." If the statement is incorrect, select the answer choice that makes the statement correct.

Answer options

• A. No change is needed
• B. Absolute positioning
• C. Relative positioning
• D. Fixed positioning

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The statement is incorrect because static positioning does not place an element at specific coordinates; it places it in the normal document flow. Relative positioning, on the other hand, allows an element to be positioned relative to its normal position, which is why option C is correct. The other options refer to different positioning methods that do not apply to the statement.
