Which URL component is used to jump to a subsection within a resource?

• A. Query
• B. Fragment
• C. Path
• D. Scheme

Answer: (D)

The part of a URL that jumps to a subsection within a resource is the fragment identifier, which comes after the hash symbol (#). This fragment points to a specific part of the document, such as an element with a matching id, so the browser can scroll directly to that section. For example, https://example.com/manual.html#getting-started will open the manual page and jump to the section labeled "getting-started."

This is different from the scheme (http or https), which tells the browser how to fetch the resource, the path, which locates the resource on the server, and the query, which passes additional parameters to influence the resource’s response. The fragment is specifically for navigating to a place within the already-loaded document.
