Explanation:
- The HTML document begins 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, such as character encoding and title.
- The <meta charset="utf-8"> tag specifies the character encoding of the document as UTF-8.
- The <title> tag sets the title of the document.
- Inside the <body> section, there is a <select> element, which defines a drop-down list.
- The <optgroup> elements define groups of related options within the drop-down list.
- Each <optgroup> has a label attribute specifying the label for the group.
- The second <optgroup> has a disabled attribute, indicating that the entire group is disabled.
- Inside each <optgroup>, <option> elements define individual options within the group, each with a value attribute representing its value.
- The HTML document is properly closed with the </html> tag.
