Solution:

HTML Code:

<!DOCTYPE html><!-- Declaration specifying the document type -->
<html><!-- Opening tag for the root element of the HTML document -->
<head><!-- Opening tag for the document's header section -->
<meta charset="utf-8"><!-- Metadata tag specifying the character encoding of the document -->
<title>How to specify whether an input element should have autocomplete disabled</title><!-- Title of the HTML document -->
</head><!-- Closing tag for the document's header section -->
<body><!-- Opening tag for the document's body section -->
<form name="example_form" method="POST" action="https://www.w3resource.com/html-css-exercise/basic/solution/input-autocomplete-answer-demo.php"><!-- Form element defining a form with method, action, and name attributes -->
<!-- Form inputs -->
  Name: <input type="text" name="name" size="30"><br><!-- Text input field for entering name -->
  Email: <input type="text" name="email" autocomplete="off" size="30"><br><!-- Text input field for entering email, with autocomplete disabled -->
  Place: <input type="text" name="place" autocomplete="off" size="10"><!-- Text input field for entering place, with autocomplete disabled -->
<input type="submit" value="Submit"><!-- Submit button to submit the form data -->
</form>
</body><!-- Closing tag for the document's body section -->
</html><!-- Closing tag for the root element of the HTML document -->

Explanation:

This HTML code demonstrates how to create a form with input fields where autocomplete is disabled for certain fields.
The form is configured with the method attribute set to "POST" and the action attribute set to the URL where the form data will be submitted.
Within the form, there are text input fields for entering name, email, and place.
The email and place input fields have the autocomplete attribute set to "off", which disables autocomplete for these fields.
