Misleading information in quiz

A question in the quiz asks "Graphics/Images for the web should generally be set at what resolution?" To which the correct answer is "72 DPI".

However, after looking into this, this notion seems to be false. One particular source tells me this:

"It doesn't make any difference what ppi setting you use for web images. It's the (pixel) width and (pixel) height of an image which are important."

DPI = dots per inch, which has nothing to do with how images are displayed on the web (on your screen). Can someone please comment on this?
