"Fill in the blank to write a message to web browser".../can they be more specific??

I wrote console.log... and apparently I'm wrong...there are a few ways to write a message to the browser...what do they mean...document.write...alert("<h1>...")... they need to be mmore specific with this question. Thanks

document.write is the correct answer. Web browser is the window that the user views. The alert function isn't writing a message on the browser, it's popping up an alert box. The console.log prints a message on the console, but not on the web browser window.
