Show answer and explanation

Answer: A. preload

Answer: A) preload
Explanation: The preload attribute takes three main values: none (does not cache anything), metadata (only downloads dimensions, duration, and first-frame details), or auto (buffers the video ahead of playback). Managing this prevents excessive, unnecessary bandwidth waste on pages with multiple videos.
