Explanation by: Admin

All the given options correctly describe differences between HTML and XHTML:

MIME Type

  • HTML uses text/html as its MIME type.
  • XHTML uses application/xml+xhtml or application/xhtml+xml for better XML parsing.

Case Sensitivity

  • In HTML, tag and attribute names are case-insensitive (e.g., <div> is the same as <DIV>).
  • In XHTML, they must be lowercase (e.g., <div> is valid, but <DIV> is not).

Special Characters Handling

  • In XHTML, special characters like <, >, and & must be written as character entities (&lt;, &gt;, &amp;).
  • In HTML, browsers are more forgiving about unescaped special characters.

Since all the given options correctly highlight actual differences, the correct choice is (D) None of the mentioned.
