Selenium Java - Actions Class

Identify the error in the following Selenium Java code for drag and drop:

WebElement source = driver.findElement(By.id("drag"));
WebElement target = driver.findElement(By.id("drop"));
Actions actions = new Actions(driver);
actions.clickAndHold(source).moveToElement(target).perform();

AMissing <code>release()</code> before <code>perform()</code>

BIncorrect locator strategy for elements

CActions class cannot be instantiated directly

DNo need to call <code>perform()</code> after actions

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Review the drag and drop sequence
Drag and drop requires clicking and holding the source, moving to target, then releasing the mouse button before performing.
Step 2: Identify missing release()
The code misses release(), so the drop action is incomplete and will not work as expected.
Final Answer:
Missing release() before perform() -> Option A
Quick Check:
Drag and drop needs release() [OK]

Quick Trick: Always call release() before perform() in drag and drop [OK]

Common Mistakes:

Forgetting release() after moveToElement
Incorrect element locators (not in this code)
Not calling perform() at all
