Explanation:

This HTML document demonstrates how to set the maximum height for paragraph elements and handle overflow.
CSS comments are added to explain each section of the code.
The p selector is used to target all paragraph elements.
The max-height property is set to 100px to limit the height of paragraphs to 100 pixels.
The background-color property sets the background color of the paragraphs.
The overflow property is set to auto to allow the browser to automatically add a scrollbar if the content exceeds the maximum height.
