Explanation:
- The HTML document contains three div elements with different styles applied.
- Each div has its own unique ID (xyz1, xyz2, xyz3).
- CSS styles are applied to these divs to specify their appearance, including borders, margins, padding, and background color.
- The background-clip property determines the painting area of the background within each div:
- padding-box clips the background to the area within the padding of the div.
- content-box clips the background to the area within the content box of the div.
- The content within each div consists of an <h2> heading and a paragraph (<p>).
