IPA IP 2026 Question 60
A question IPA Japan published in 令和8年度 ITパスポート試験 公開問題 問60, translated into English. ITPEC is based on the same exams.
Which of the following is an appropriate description concerning responsive Web design?
Explanation
The layout changes with the screen size of the terminal — one website made easy to view and operate on PCs, tablets and smartphones alike.
Responsive Web design builds a single website whose layout adapts to the screen it is shown on. The same HTML goes to every terminal, and the style sheet (CSS media queries and flexible grids) rearranges it by screen width: several columns on a PC, one column with larger buttons and text on a smartphone. There is no separate site for mobiles to maintain.
Answer (a)
Why not others:
- •(b) — connecting each user to the most suitable of several distribution servers to spread the load of streaming is a CDN (content delivery network)
- •(c) — reading the acceleration and gyro sensors to count steps and measure speed is using the terminal’s built-in sensors; it has nothing to do with the page layout
- •(d) — an explanation that pops up when the mouse pointer rests on an item is a tooltip
Key rule: Responsive design means one site whose layout adapts to the screen size; a CDN spreads delivery over many servers, and a tooltip is help shown on hover.
