Question: 1 / 400

What attribute is used to specify the destination URL of a hyperlink?

src

href

The attribute used to specify the destination URL of a hyperlink in HTML is "href." This stands for "hypertext reference" and is a critical aspect of anchor tags, which are defined using the `<a>` tag. When creating a hyperlink, the href attribute is what tells the browser where to direct users when they click the link. For example, when you write `<a href="https://www.example.com">Visit Example</a>`, the browser knows to navigate to "https://www.example.com" when the link text "Visit Example" is clicked.

The other attributes mentioned do not serve the purpose of defining a hyperlink's destination. "src" is typically used with image and script tags to specify the source of a resource, "url" is not a standard HTML attribute, and "link" does not pertain to hyperlinks; it could refer to a relationship in a different context but is not used for the direct connection of hyperlinks in standard HTML syntax.
