Explanation by: Official MCQ Buddy

In traditional HTML, some elements like <p>, <li>, <td>, <tr>, and <option> do not necessarily require a closing tag, though it is generally recommended to include them for better readability and maintainability.
In XHTML, all elements must have a closing tag or be self-closing (e.g., <br />, <img />).
The close tag is not optional in XHTML but can be optional in HTML.
Thus, option (B) is the most accurate statement.
