Explanation:

  • The <!DOCTYPE html> declaration specifies the document type and version of HTML.
  • The <html> element is the root element of the HTML document.
  • The <head> section contains metadata about the HTML document, including the title of the page.
  • The <title> tag sets the title of the HTML page.
  • The <body> element contains the visible content of the HTML document.
  • The <p> tag contains a paragraph explaining the purpose of the image map.
  • The <img> tag displays an image with the specified source, dimensions, and attributes, including an alternate text for accessibility.
  • The <map> element defines an image map with the name "Map".
  • The <area> tags define clickable areas within the image map, each with a specific shape, coordinates, hyperlink, and alternate text. The alt attribute specifies the alternate text for each area.
