Which tag do you use to start a list for directions?

• A. <ul>
• B. <ol>
• C. <dl>
• D. <li>

Answer: (B)

When directions need to be shown in a specific order, use an ordered list. The tag that starts this kind of list is the one that creates a numbered sequence: <ol>. Inside it, each step is placed in its own list item with <li>. This setup automatically numbers the steps and keeps the order clear. Using an unordered list (<ul>) would just bullet items without implying order, and a description list (<dl>) is for terms and descriptions rather than a step-by-step sequence. The list item tag (<li>) is used for each step inside either type of list.
