During rendering, the browser may request additional resources based on the HTML tags. Which statement is correct?

• A. The browser ignores external resources.
• B. The browser renders without fetching any additional resources.
• C. The browser will render HTML and send more GET requests for CSS, JavaScript, images, etc.
• D. The browser blocks all subsequent requests.

Answer: (C)

Browsers fetch resources as they render by parsing the HTML and building the DOM, and as it encounters tags that reference external files, it issues additional GET requests to obtain those resources. For each stylesheet, script, image, font, and similar resource, the browser requests the corresponding data, which can then influence how the page is displayed once those resources arrive. This means the page can start rendering the HTML content while extra resources are still being fetched, and the final look depends on when CSS and scripts finish loading. The statement that the browser will render HTML and send more GET requests for CSS, JavaScript, images, etc. captures this behavior accurately. The other options aren’t correct because the browser does not ignore external resources, and it doesn’t render without fetching these resources; while some resources may block rendering, the browser still makes and processes these requests rather than stopping all subsequent requests.
