Which statement is true?

Which statement is true?

• A. Screen readers can read the alt attribute
• B. Screen readers ignore the alt attribute
• C. Alt attributes are not used by screen readers
• D. Images do not use the alt attributes

Answer: (A)

Alt text provides a description of an image, and screen readers read that text aloud so users who can’t see the image understand what it conveys. That’s why the statement that screen readers can read the alt attribute is true. The other ideas aren’t accurate because screen readers do rely on and read the alt text, and images do use alt attributes to communicate information. For decorative images, an empty alt value can be used so screen readers skip them without interrupting the reading flow.
