Solution

The correct regular expression to extract the URL from the given line of HTML is href="(.+)".

Here's how it works:

  1. href=": This part of the regular expression matches the exact sequence of characters that start the URL in the HTML line.

  2. (.+): This part is a capturing group that matches one or more of any character except a newline. The parentheses () define the group, and the . matches any character except a newline. The + means "one or more of the preceding element." So, together, (.+) will match and capture the sequence of characters that make up the URL.

  3. ": This part of the regular expression matches the exact character that ends the URL in the HTML line.

So, when applied to the HTML line, the regular expression href="(.+)" will match and extract the URL http://www.dr-chuck.com.
