Which of the following code examples will create an anchor element?

A <hyperlink>Reference=#some_text</hyperlink> B <href>#some_text</href> C <a href="index.html">My Link</a> D <link>My Link</link>

The correct answer is C <a href="index.html">My Link</a> I don't get why. There is no anchor element there.

The a tag is the anchor element you use it to create links.

Yes, there is. The anchor element is represented by the abbreviation <a>. We call it an anchor tag :smiley:
