Explanation

<footer> is correct because it is an HTML5 semantic element commonly used to provide supplementary text-based navigation links at the bottom of a page - a well-established accessibility pattern when primary navigation relies on images. Screen readers and assistive technologies recognize <footer> as a landmark region, making its text links easily discoverable for users who cannot interact with image-based buttons.

The distractors are wrong for these reasons: <aside> is for content tangentially related to the main content (like a sidebar), not navigation; <header> contains introductory content and is typically where the image-based navigation already lives, not where you'd add the text fallback; <article> represents a self-contained piece of content (a blog post, news story, etc.) and has no navigational role.

Memory tip: Think of a classic webpage layout - image nav goes in the <header>, text nav fallback goes in the <footer>. The footer "catches" accessibility needs at the bottom.
