All HTML documents must start with a <! DOCTYPE> declaration. The declaration is not an HTML tag. It is an "information" to the browser about what document type to expect. https://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_doctype.asp A doctype or document type declaration is an instruction which tells the web browser about the markup language in which the current page is written. The Doctype is not an element or tag, it lets the browser know about the version of or standard of HTML or any other markup language that is being used in the document. https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/html-doctypes/#:~:text=A%20doctype%20or%20document%20type,being%20used%20in%20the%20document.

First doctype is not tag or element . It is an information for browser about document type https://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_doctype.asp second there is little difference between "tag" and "element";

Altero (Inactive) doctype is use to define document type like your html should be of version 4 or 5 or old version. So it can't have attribute. According to 2nd post, question is saying that all tag can have attribute. See the question again here is "can have" it means not must have.

You have posted total 3 questions I will try to explain all step by step 1st question https://www.sololearn.com/post/883177/?ref=app Its asking about Which of the following can never contains attribute? Not telling which of the following 'tag' can never contain attribute? Ans- <!Doctype html> Bcz It is not a tag ; as said @all All HTML documents must start with a <!DOCTYPE> declaration. The declaration is not an HTML tag. It is an "information" to the browser about what document type to expect. 2nd question https://www.sololearn.com/post/883208/?ref=app Its asking all html element can have attribute Ans- Yes ; All element 'can' have attribute Now if u again confuse on <!doctype html> again i will say that Its not "element/tag" its 'info' of document.So, there is no sense of confusing with it. 3rd question https://www.sololearn.com/post/884229/?ref=app Asking about which of those "tags" donot need to be closed Ans- <br>,<hr> <!doctype > shouldn't ticked ; its not a tag¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ;

Sudarshan Rai Thank you for your answer https://www.sololearn.com/post/884245/?ref=app in this post Hope you understand the difference between the elements and tag and I think doctype is a tag because it's follow the rules of opening tag elements are able to content tags but tags are not able to contact element you said doctype is not a tag but this question saying doctype is a tag https://www.sololearn.com/post/884229/?ref=app
