Explanation

Canvas API (option C) is the HTML5 API designed for drawing 2D and 3D graphics programmatically via JavaScript, making it ideal for animations, game graphics, data visualizations, and image manipulation using the <canvas> element.

The distractors are unrelated to graphics:

• Geolocation API (A) retrieves the user's physical location coordinates.
• History API (B) manipulates the browser's session history (back/forward navigation, URL changes).
• File API (D) enables reading and interacting with files selected by the user from their local system.

Memory tip: Think "Canvas = painting" - just as an artist uses a canvas to draw, the Canvas API gives you a blank surface to draw and animate graphics with code.
