The question is asking you to choose the tags that you can visibly see on a website.

Beginning, middle, and end are not HTML tags so that answer is incorrect. <!DOCTYPE html> is a tag used to tell the browser how to render the page among other things. This answer is incorrect. The <head> tag contains metadata, links to stylesheets, the page title, etc. All of which do not appear in the browser. Therefore, this answer is incorrect.

This leaves <header>, <footer>, and <main>. <header> usually surrounds the navigation and other elements that appear at the top of the site. <footer> usually contains contact information and other elements that appear at the bottom of the site. The <main> tag represents the main content of the <body> tag. You can visibly see the content in these tags.

Hopefully, that clarifies things.
