D)text-compress property

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The border-collapse property should be used to display the table with single, consolidated borders. This property controls the rendering of borders between adjacent table cells, allowing for either a single border or double border between cells. By setting this property to 'collapse', Ann can ensure that the borders between cells are consolidated into a single line, creating a cleaner and more professional appearance for the table. The border-width, text-align, and text-compress properties are not relevant for addressing the issue of double lines between table cells.
