The correct answer to the question “What should be the first tag in any HTML document” is option ©. <html>. Because if you start with <html> tag then only you will let the web browser know that it is an HTML file. Otherwise, there is no chance that the browser will know that it is an HTML file. And all the other options are tags that have to be used later after the <html> tag.
