What is the default playback behavior for a video element when the loop attribute is not set?

• A. Autoplay
• B. Muted
• C. Loop
• D. The video will play once

Answer: (D)

Loop controls whether the video repeats after it reaches the end. If the loop attribute isn’t present, the video plays from start to finish and then stops. It won’t restart on its own unless something triggers play again. So the default behavior is a single pass, which is why the answer is that the video will play once. Autoplay would start it automatically without user action, which isn’t the default; Muted isn’t about how many times it plays; Loop would cause repetition only if the attribute is present.
