What is the purpose of HTML?

  1. Create consistent images

  2. Design a complex website

  3. Design the layout of a webpage

  4. Format text and images on a webpage

The correct answer is: Format text and images on a webpage

HTML stands for Hypertext Markup Language and its main purpose is to structure website content. It does this by providing a set of markup tags that are used to define the structure of a webpage. In other words, it allows us to organize and layout text, images, and other elements on a webpage. The other options would not be correct because HTML's main focus is not on creating consistent images (A), designing complex websites (B), or solely designing the layout of a webpage (C). While these may be secondary tasks that HTML can assist with, they are not its main purpose. Therefore, D is the most accurate and concise answer.
