Which HTML snippet opens a link in a new tab or window?

• A. <a href="url" target="_self">Link</a>
• B. <a href="url" rel="noopener">Link</a>
• C. <a href="url" target="_blank">Link</a>
• D. <a href="url" target="_top">Link</a>

Answer: (C)

Opening a link in a new tab or window is determined by the target attribute on the anchor tag. The value _blank tells the browser to create a new browsing context for the destination, which typically opens in a new tab or window depending on the browser and user settings. So a snippet with target="_blank" will open in a new tab/window when clicked. The other options use different targets: _self keeps navigation in the current tab, _top loads the link in the topmost browsing context (which can replace the current page in some layouts), and rel="noopener" by itself doesn’t open a new tab—it’s a security measure used with _blank to prevent the new page from accessing the original page's window object.
