which of the following elements in html5 defines video or movie content?

The HTML5 element that defines video or movie content is the <video> element.

Quick answer

• Correct tag: <video>
• Incorrect options (common distractors in MCQs):
  • <media> – not a standard HTML5 media element.

* `<movie>` – not a valid HTML5 tag.

* `<audio>` – used for audio, not video/movies.

What <video> does

• Embeds a video player directly into an HTML page without needing plugins like Flash.

• Supports attributes such as src, controls, autoplay, loop, width, height, and poster.

Simple example

html

<video controls width="400">
  <source src="movie.mp4" type="video/mp4">
  Your browser does not support the video tag.
</video>

This snippet shows how <video> wraps one or more <source> elements and provides a fallback message for older browsers.
