Solution:

HTML Code:

<!DOCTYPE html><!-- Opening tag for declaring 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>Example of HTML method attribute with GET</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="user_info" action="https://www.w3resource.com/html-css-exercise/basic/solution/form-method-answer-demo.php" method="get"><!-- Opening tag for the form element with attributes specifying the name, action URL, and method -->
Name : <input type="text" name="name"/><br/><!-- Input field for entering a name -->
email  : <input type="text" name="email"/><br/><!-- Input field for entering an email address -->
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit" /><!-- Submit button for submitting the form -->
</form><!-- Closing tag for the form element -->
</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 a form with the method attribute set to "get".
The method attribute specifies the HTTP method used to submit the form data. In this case, it's set to GET, which appends the form data to the URL as query parameters.
The form's action attribute specifies the URL to which the form data will be submitted upon submission.
Inside the form element, there are input fields for entering name and email information.
Each input field has a name attribute corresponding to the data it represents.
There is a submit button for submitting the form.
