The correct answer is:
(B) ii ✅
Explanation:
Code (i) is incorrect ❌
<b><i>is in error as tags cross</b></i>
Incorrect because the tags "cross": The <b> (bold) tag is opened first, then <i> (italic) starts inside it. However, when closing, <b> is closed before <i>, causing an improper tag nesting.
This is not valid HTML.
Code (ii) is correct ✅
<b><i>is not since tags nest</i></b>
Correct because the tags "nest" properly: <b> starts first, <i> starts inside it, and closing follows the same order (first <i> closes, then <b> closes).
This follows proper tag nesting rules in HTML.
Why other options are incorrect?
(A) i → Wrong, because only ii is correct.
(C) i and ii → Wrong, because i is incorrect.
(D) None of the mentioned → Wrong, because ii is correct.
Thus, the correct answer is (B) ii ✅.
