b.) Internal- You can also include CSS rules within an HTML page by placing them inside a <style> element. which usually sits inside the <head> element of the page.
c.) Inline- An inline style may be used to apply a unique style for a single element. You can add the style attribute to the relevant element. The style attribute can contain any CSS property.
