Which XPath expression would you use to select all following siblings of 'Apple Mobiles'?

• A. //ul/li[contains(text(),'Apple Mobiles')]/followingsibling::li
• B. //ul/li[contains(text(),'Apple Mobiles')]/following-sibling::li
• C. //ul/li[.='Apple Mobiles']/followingsibling::*
• D. //ul/li[contains(text(),'Apple Mobiles')]/following::li

Answer: (A)

The correct XPath expression to select all following siblings of 'Apple Mobiles' is based on an accurate understanding of how XPath syntax works. The appropriate approach involves specifying the correct function for identifying sibling elements.

In XPath, the 'following-sibling' axis is used to select siblings of the specified node that come after it in the document order. The correct expression utilizes the proper syntax for this function: "following-sibling::li". This means that it follows the 'Apple Mobiles' node (which is identified through another XPath function like contains or equality check) and selects all 'li' elements that follow it, regardless of their text content.

Options that use variations like 'followingsibling' (without the hyphen) or switch to 'following' without specifying the sibling would not function correctly because they either are syntactically wrong or do not provide the specificity required to limit the selection to immediate siblings, thus leading to incorrect selections or syntax errors.

In this context, the chosen expression effectively captures all relevant siblings after the node containing 'Apple Mobiles', which is essential for obtaining the correct set of elements in an HTML structure. For instance, if the list were represented in HTML, it would accurately return each of the subsequent list items in an
