Q43 / 100

What is the difference between "position: relative" and "position: absolute"?

Correct! Well done.

Incorrect.

The correct answer is B) relative positions an element relative to its normal position (still occupying space in the flow), while absolute removes the element from the normal flow and positions it relative to its nearest positioned ancestor

B

Correct Answer

relative positions an element relative to its normal position (still occupying space in the flow), while absolute removes the element from the normal flow and positions it relative to its nearest positioned ancestor

Explanation

relative keeps the element in its normal flow position but allows offsetting via top/left/etc.; absolute takes the element out of the flow entirely, positioning it relative to the nearest ancestor with a non-static position (or the viewport if none).
