Explanation:

This HTML document demonstrates how to specify the size of a background image using CSS.
The CSS style block defines styling for the body element.
The background image used in this example is the w3resource logo.
background-size: 60px 40px; is used to specify the size of the background image to be 60 pixels in width and 40 pixels in height.
This property ensures that the background image is displayed at a specific size.
background-repeat: no-repeat; is used to prevent the background image from repeating.
padding-top: 30px; is used to add padding to the top of the body element.
The HTML content consists of two paragraphs: one explaining the background-size CSS property and another displaying an original image for comparison.
