Explanation:

This HTML document starts with a doctype declaration indicating it's an HTML5 document.
Inside the <html> tags, the document structure begins.
The <head> section contains metadata about the document, such as character encoding and the title.
The <body> section is where the visible content of the webpage resides.
Within the body section, there's a <form> element created with the action attribute set to the URL where the form data will be submitted.
Inside the form, there are input fields for entering first name, last name, and address.
There are two <button> elements within the form:

The first button has the type attribute set to "submit" and is labeled "Submit". It submits the form data using the default HTTP method, which is typically "GET".
The second button also has the type attribute set to "submit" and is labeled "Submit using POST". It has the formmethod attribute set to "post", indicating that the form data should be submitted using the HTTP POST method. Additionally, it has the formaction attribute specifying a different URL to submit the form data to.

The HTML document ends with the closing </html> tag.
