Solution:

HTML Code:

<!DOCTYPE html><!-- Declaration of HTML5 document type -->
<html>
<head>
<title>How to scale the background image to be as large as possible so that the background area is completely covered by the background image</title><!-- Title of the HTML document -->
<style>/* CSS style start*/
body {
background: url("https://www.w3resource.com/images/w3resource-logo.png"); /* Setting background image for the body */
background-repeat:no-repeat; /* Setting background repeat property to "no-repeat" */
background-size:cover; /* Scaling the background image to cover the entire background area */
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<p>The background-size CSS property scale the background image to be as large as possible so that the background area is completely covered by the background image.</p><!-- Paragraph content -->
</body>
</html>

Explanation:

This HTML document demonstrates how to scale the background image to cover the entire background area.
The CSS style block defines styling for the body element.
The background image used in this example is the w3resource logo.
background-repeat:no-repeat; is used to set the background repeat property to "no-repeat", which means the background image will not be repeated.
background-size:cover; is used to scale the background image to cover the entire background area while maintaining its aspect ratio. This ensures that the entire background area is completely covered by the background image.
The HTML content consists of a paragraph explaining the purpose of the background-size CSS property.
