Which markup segment creates an SVG ellipse?

The correct answer is D because an SVG ellipse is created with the < ellipse > element and the required geometry attributes cx, cy, rx, and ry. The cx attribute defines the x-coordinate of the ellipse’s center point, and cy defines the y-coordinate of the center point. The rx attribute defines the horizontal radius, while ry defines the vertical radius. In option D, cx= " 200 " and cy= " 80 " correctly position the center of the ellipse, while rx= " 100 " and ry= " 50 " correctly define an ellipse that is wider than it is tall. Option A is invalid because the element name is misspelled as < ellipsp > , so the browser will not interpret it as an SVG ellipse. Option B incorrectly uses x and y attributes instead of the ellipse-specific center and radius attributes. Option C correctly uses cx and cy, but incorrectly uses x and y where rx and ry are required.
