hard📝 Application Q15 of 15

Selenium Java - Actions Class

Anew Actions(driver).moveToElement(menu).click(submenu).perform();

Bmenu.click(); submenu.click();

Cnew Actions(driver).click(menu).click(submenu).perform();

Ddriver.findElement(By.id("submenu")).click();

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Understand submenu visibility
The submenu appears only after hovering over the menu, so we must hover first to reveal it.
Step 2: Use Actions to hover and click
new Actions(driver).moveToElement(menu).click(submenu).perform(); chains moveToElement(menu) to hover, then click(submenu) to click the submenu, and finally perform() to execute both actions in order.
Step 3: Why other options fail
menu.click(); submenu.click(); clicks menu without hover, so submenu may not appear. new Actions(driver).click(menu).click(submenu).perform(); clicks menu instead of hover. driver.findElement(By.id("submenu")).click(); clicks submenu directly without hover, likely causing failure.
Final Answer:
new Actions(driver).moveToElement(menu).click(submenu).perform(); -> Option A
Quick Check:
Hover then click submenu with Actions chain [OK]

Quick Trick: Chain hover and click in Actions, then perform() [OK]
