Which of these options does NOT require the use of parentheses?

The option that does not require the use of parentheses is innerHTML. This property is used to access or modify the HTML content of an element in the DOM without needing to call a function.

For example, if you have an element selected via document.getElementById(), you can directly set its innerHTML property like this:

document.getElementById('myElement').innerHTML = 'Hello, World!';

In this case, innerHTML is treated like a simple variable rather than a function, which is why no parentheses are necessary.

In contrast, prompt, document.write, and console.log are all function calls. These functions require parentheses to pass arguments. For instance, when using prompt, you need to write prompt('Enter your name:') to correctly invoke the function and ask for user input. Similarly, document.write('This is a message.') and console.log('Logging information') also need parentheses to execute properly, as they take parameters that define their output behavior. Thus, innerHTML stands out as the only option that operates without the need for parentheses, being a direct property manipulation rather than a function invocation.
