_blank: Load the URL into a new browsing context. This is usually a tab, but users can configure browsers to use new windows instead. 🔗 https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/a

Back in the days when we are stuck with IE there's no tab browsing and it make sense to use _blank to prevent overwriting the same page. You can think of the tabs are just a collection of Windows that makes our life easier without cluttering the taskbar. 😉

This is based on the users browser. Using target blank will open into a new window. If you have your browser configured to open links in a new tab rather than a window then thats no different to opening a new browser window entirely. The answer that solo learn provides is correct and not a trick question. If you wanted to open a target blank link in an entirely new window and override the clients browse settings then you can try and open it as a pop window etc.
