Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Captions provide text that displays the spoken words and other auditory content of a video as synchronized captions. This allows users who are deaf or hard of hearing to access the content of videos. Descriptions provide a narration of visual content which can be helpful for blind or visually impaired users. Narration is an auditory component that provides a continuous auditory description of the video content. A fallback image is a static image that is displayed when an image or video cannot be loaded, and it does not provide accessibility features. Therefore, the best option for Lu to make her video accessible to users who are deaf or hard of hearing is by including captions.
