Explanation
<nav> is the semantically correct HTML5 element for navigation bars because it explicitly signals to browsers, screen readers, and search engines that the content contains navigation links - making it both accessible and SEO-friendly. <header> represents introductory content or a page banner and may contain a nav, but isn't itself a navigation element. <footer> is for bottom-of-page content like copyright info and secondary links, not primary navigation. <div> is a generic container with no semantic meaning, so while it can wrap navigation links, it conveys nothing about their purpose to assistive technologies.
Memory tip: Think of <nav> as short for "navigator" - it's the element that literally navigates users around your site, so it's the only one with that job built in.
