The correct answer is option 1: <a href = "mailto: xy@y">

Key Points

  • To create a clickable link in HTML that opens the user's default email client with a pre-filled recipient address, the correct syntax is:
  • <a href="mailto:xy@y">Send Email</a>
  • This uses the mailto: protocol in the href attribute.
  • Clicking the link launches the email application with the "To" field filled with xy@y.

Additional Information

  • Option 2: <a href = "xy@y"> — Incorrect: lacks mailto: prefix.
  • Option 3: <mail xy@y</mail> — Invalid HTML tag.
  • Option 4: <a.mail = mailtoxy@y — Incorrect syntax and not a valid HTML structure.

Hence, the correct answer is: option 1: <a href = "mailto: xy@y">
