Difficulty: Easy
Correct Answer: Incorrect
Explanation:
Introduction / Context:
Web technologies are standardized by different organizations. Understanding who owns which standard helps avoid confusion about protocol versus markup languages.
Given Data / Assumptions:
Concept / Approach:
Separate concerns: markup vs. protocol. W3C focuses on web standards like HTML, CSS, DOM, and accessibility guidelines. HTTP specifications (methods, headers, status codes, semantics) are IETF RFCs. Therefore, attributing HTTP standardization to W3C is incorrect, even though W3C is central to HTML.
Step-by-Step Solution:
Verification / Alternative check:
Check the provenance of HTTP/1.1, HTTP/2, and HTTP/3 (RFCs by IETF) versus HTML specs (W3C/WHATWG).
Why Other Options Are Wrong:
Common Pitfalls:
Assuming a single body governs all web technologies; conflating HTML (content) with HTTP (transport).
Final Answer:
Incorrect
