Question

Options

• AThe updates will increase user traffic to the site.
• BThe updates will improve the overall look and feel of the Web site.
• CThe Web site can be interpreted by any HTML5-compliant browser, including mobile devices.
• DThe Web site will rank higher in many search engines results, as long as the search engine bot

• A
  3% (1)
• B
  7% (2)
• C
  87% (26)
• D
  3% (1)

Explanation

Using HTML5 with CSS separates structure from presentation and produces semantic, standards-compliant markup that any modern browser - including mobile browsers - can correctly parse and render, making C the strongest technical justification for the migration.

Why the distractors fall short:

• A is wrong because recoding alone doesn't drive traffic; that depends on marketing, SEO strategy, and content.
• B is partially true (CSS does improve visual design), but "look and feel" is subjective and not the most important technical reason - it's a benefit, not the core argument.
• D is cut off, but even if it referenced SEO rankings, search engine ranking is a secondary benefit rather than the fundamental reason; accessibility and cross-device compatibility come first.

Memory tip: Think "HTML5 = universal language." The key selling point is reach - any compliant browser on any device (desktop, tablet, phone) can render it correctly, which is a concrete, measurable business benefit you can explain to a non-technical client like XYZ, Inc.
