Solution :

HTML Code :

<!-- Declare the document type as HTML5 -->
<!DOCTYPE html>

<!-- Start the HTML document -->
<html>

<!-- Start the head section containing metadata about the document -->
<head>

<!-- Set the character encoding to UTF-8 -->
<meta charset="utf-8">

<!-- Set the title of the document to "How to create a hyperlink" -->
<title>How to create a hyperlink</title>

<!-- Close the head section -->
</head>

<!-- Start the body section containing the content of the document -->
<body>

<!-- Create a hyperlink with a specified URL and language -->
<a href="https://w3resource.com" hreflang="en">w3resource Tutorial</a>

<!-- Close the body section -->
</body>

<!-- Close the HTML document -->
</html>

Explanation:

The above HTML code defines a basic HTML5 document with metadata in the head section and a body containing a hyperlink. The hyperlink has a specified URL, and the 'hreflang' attribute indicates the language of the linked resource.

<!DOCTYPE html>: Declares the document type as HTML5.
<html>: Marks the beginning of the HTML document.
<head>: Contains metadata about the document, such as character encoding and the title.
<meta charset="utf-8">: Sets the character encoding to UTF-8.
<title>How to create a hyperlink</title>: Sets the title of the HTML document.
</head>: Closes the head section.
<body>: Contains the actual HTML document content.
<a href="https://w3resource.com" hreflang="en">w3resource Tutorial</a>: Creates a hyperlink to "https://w3resource.com" with the specified language attribute set to "en" for English.
</body>: Closes the body section.
</html>: Marks the end of the HTML document.
