The <textarea> element is used for multi-line input fields, which is necessary for allowing users to write their comments in the web form. Therefore, Brendan should replace the input element with the textarea element. Option A (select) is used for creating a drop-down list of options, option B (fieldset) is used for grouping related form elements, and option C (label) is used for providing a label or caption for form elements.
