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 <table> element created with the class attribute set to "table table-bordered" for styling.
Inside the table, there's a <colgroup> element defining column properties for a group of columns.
The <col> elements within the <colgroup> specify the properties for each column, with the first two columns spanning 2 columns each.
The <tr> elements represent table rows, with the first row containing column headers (<th> elements) and subsequent rows containing data (<td> elements).
The HTML document ends with the closing </html> tag.
