In an HTML form, what is the purpose of the name attribute in an <input> tag?

• It labels the form field so the user knows the type of input expected.

• It identifies the form input received in a name=value pair by the site's administrator.

In an HTML form, the <input> tag is used to:

<select name="Hobby">

<option> Kayaking </option>

<option> Swimming </option>

<option> Fishing </option>

<option value="NoneAbove" > None of the Above </option>

</select>

You have been directed to change this form field so that users can select more than one option from this list. In addition to rewording the page text, which change must you make to the code?

• Create a drop-down list, remove all references to the <select> element, then replace <option> with <list>.

• Remove the <select> element and replace it with the <list> element.

• Add the multiple="multiple" attribute and value to the <select> element.
