A. PHP

Detailed Explanation

Correct Answer: PHP

PHP is a server-side scripting language widely used for developing dynamic web applications.

When a browser sends a request to a PHP-based web server, the PHP code is processed on the server. The server then sends the generated result, usually HTML, back to the browser.

HTML and CSS are different: HTML defines the structure of a web page, while CSS controls its appearance.

Exam point: PHP code executes on the server, not directly in the user's browser.
