Why does this Selenium code fail to run Chrome in headless mode?

from selenium import webdriver
options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
options.add_argument('--headless')
driver = webdriver.Chrome()
driver.get('https://example.com')

AThe URL is invalid

BThe '--headless' argument is misspelled

CChrome does not support headless mode

DThe options object with headless argument is not passed to the Chrome driver

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Check options usage
Headless mode is enabled by adding '--headless' to options.
Step 2: Passing options
The options object must be passed to webdriver.Chrome(options=options).
Step 3: Identify mistake
Here, driver is created without options, so headless mode is not enabled.
Final Answer:
Options object not passed to Chrome driver -> Option D
Quick Check:
Pass options to Chrome() to enable headless [OK]

Quick Trick: Always pass options to Chrome() constructor [OK]

Common Mistakes:

Forgetting to pass options to driver
Misspelling '--headless' argument
Assuming headless mode is default
