Solution:

HTML Code:

<!DOCTYPE html><!-- Declares the document type and version of HTML -->
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8"><!-- Specifies the character encoding for the document -->
<title>How to specify a URL to a document that explains the reason why the text was inserted/changed</title><!-- Sets the title of the document -->
</head>
<body>
<p>w3resource is a tutorial site. <!-- Starts a paragraph -->
<ins cite="i-answer.html"><!-- Represents inserted text with a citation to explain why it was inserted -->
It is very informative and easy to learn tutorial for the beginners. <!-- The inserted text -->
</ins></p><!-- Ends the paragraph -->
</body>
</html>

Explanation:

The HTML document starts with a declaration of its type and version (<!DOCTYPE html>).
The <html> element encloses the entire HTML document.
The <head> section contains metadata about the document, including the character encoding (<meta charset="utf-8">) and the title of the document (<title>).
Inside the <body> section, there's a <p> element, which represents a paragraph of text.
Within the paragraph, there's an <ins> element, which indicates inserted text. The cite attribute specifies a URL to a document that explains the reason why the text was inserted or changed. In this case, "i-answer.html" is used as a placeholder URL.
The text "It is very informative and easy to learn tutorial for the beginners." is marked as inserted text and displayed in the paragraph.
