What Does CSS Do?
Question
What is the primary purpose of CSS in web development?
Hint

Explanation
CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) controls how HTML elements look — colors, fonts, spacing, layout, and animations. HTML defines structure and content, JavaScript defines behavior, and server-side work is done by back-end languages. CSS is specifically about presentation.
