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 form target attribute</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 <!-- Opening tag for the form element -->
action="https://www.w3resource.com/html-css-exercise/basic/solution/form-target-answer-demo.php" <!-- Attribute specifying the action URL for the form -->
method="get" target="_blank"><!-- Attributes specifying the HTTP method used to submit the form and target attribute to specify where to display the response -->
  First name: <input <!-- Input field for entering first name -->
type="text" name="fname"><br><!-- Type attribute specifies the input type as text and name attribute specifies the name of the input field -->
  Last name: <input <!-- Input field for entering last name -->
type="text" name="lname"><br><!-- Type attribute specifies the input type as text and name attribute specifies the name of the input field -->
<input type="submit" <!-- Submit button for submitting the form -->
value="Submit"><!-- Value attribute specifies the text displayed on the button -->
</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 target attribute.
The target attribute specifies where to display the response that is received after submitting the form.
In this case, target is set to "_blank", which opens the response in a new browser tab or window.
The form's action attribute specifies the URL to which the form data will be submitted upon submission, and the method attribute specifies the HTTP method used, in this case, GET.
Inside the form element, there are input fields for entering first name and last name information.
Each input field has a name attribute corresponding to the data it represents.
There is a submit button for submitting the form.
