What happens if the PATH= option is not specified in ODS HTML?

Output files will be created in the default SAS directory.
Output will not be generated.
Only PDF output will be created.
The program will throw an error.

The correct answer is: Output files will be created in the default SAS directory.

When the PATH= option is not specified in ODS HTML, output files will be created in the default SAS directory. This means that SAS has a predefined location where it stores output files when no specific path has been provided. The default SAS directory is typically the location set in your SAS installation, allowing users to access their output without needing to specify a custom directory. Choosing this option reflects an understanding of how SAS handles output generation and file management. The other scenarios described, such as generating no output, restricting the output to only PDF format, or throwing an error simply would not occur in this context. Instead, SAS efficiently directs the output to a default location, enabling users to retrieve their results easily. This is a fundamental aspect of working with ODS in SAS programming that emphasizes the software's flexibility in managing output.
