What is the purpose of the cite attribute in the blockquote element?

  • To apply styles to the quotation. 
  • To identify the citing element. 
  • To provide a URL to the source of the quotation. 
  • To specify the character encoding. 
The cite attribute in the blockquote element provides a URL reference to the original source of the quote. It helps attribute the quotation to its original context or source, ensuring that content is properly credited. However, this attribute doesn't cause the URL to be displayed; it's more for metadata purposes and can be used by search engines or other tools to establish a link to the original source.
