Can someone help me with this quiz?

The question in a quiz that is bothering me is this: How would you select the body element using document.getElementsByTagName, and store it in the variable body?

I type this answer: document.getElementsByTagName("body")

"Unfortunately, that answer is incorrect". So what is the correct answer????
