Solution:

HTML Code:

<!DOCTYPE html><!-- Declares the document type and version of HTML -->
<html><!-- Begins the HTML document -->
<head><!-- Contains metadata about the document -->
<meta charset="utf-8"><!-- Specifies the character encoding of the document -->
<title>How to specify that an option should be pre-selected when the page loads</title><!-- Sets the title of the document -->
</head><!-- Ends the head section -->
<body><!-- Contains the content of the document -->
<select><!-- Defines a drop-down list -->
<option>Soccer</option><!-- Defines an option "Soccer" -->
<option>Hockey</option><!-- Defines an option "Hockey" -->
<option>Polo</option><!-- Defines an option "Polo" -->
<option>Golf</option><!-- Defines an option "Golf" -->
</select><!-- Ends the drop-down list -->
</body><!-- Ends the body section -->
</html><!-- Ends the HTML document -->

Explanation:

The HTML document begins with a declaration of its type and version (<!DOCTYPE html>).
The <html> element encloses the entire HTML document.
The <head> section contains metadata about the document, such as character encoding and title.
The <meta charset="utf-8"> tag specifies the character encoding of the document as UTF-8.
The <title> tag sets the title of the document.
Inside the <body> section, there is a <select> element defining a drop-down list.
The <option> elements inside the <select> define the different options in the drop-down list.
By default, none of the options are pre-selected when the page loads.
