(iv) JavaScript

Worked SolutionAI Assisted

Correct Answer: (iii) JSP

Explanation:

  • JSP (JavaServer Pages) is a server-side technology that allows developers to insert Java code into HTML templates to generate dynamic web content on the server before sending it to the client.
  • HTML and CSS are purely client-side markup and styling languages rendered directly by the browser.
  • JavaScript historically runs as a client-side scripting language in the browser (unless explicitly executed on a runtime like Node.js).

How JSP Works on Server:

  1. Client requests a .jsp file.
  2. The web server translates JSP into a Java Servlet (.java).
  3. The servlet is compiled into bytecode (.class) and executed.
  4. The generated HTML response is sent back to the client.
