Explanation

Option C is correct because the HTML5 <output> element is a semantic container specifically designed to display the result of a calculation, script, or user interaction - for example, showing the sum of two number inputs in real time. Option A describes localStorage or sessionStorage APIs, not an HTML element. Option B describes the <input type="range"> element, which renders a slider. Option D is the domain of <canvas> or WebGL, not <output>.

Memory tip: Think of <output> like a calculator's display screen - it shows the result of what the user did, not the input itself. The name maps directly to its purpose: output = result.
