What does Focus Visible mean?

• A. Only keyboard users should see focus.
• B. All elements automatically gain focus upon page load.
• C. The focus on a webpage is visible in some way.
• D. Focus must be hidden to prevent distraction.

Answer: (C)

Focus Visible means showing a clear indication of which element currently has focus. When you navigate a page with the keyboard (for example, by pressing Tab), the element in focus should have a visible cue—like a distinct outline or highlight—so you can easily see where you are on the page. This accessibility aid helps keyboard users track their position as they move through controls and links. Some implementations use a CSS rule that shows the focus indicator only when the user is navigating with a keyboard, reducing visual clutter for mouse users, but the core idea remains: the focus state is perceptible on the screen. The idea that fits best is that the focus on a webpage is visible in some way. It’s not about all elements gaining focus automatically on load, and it’s not about hiding focus entirely.
