e) other:

The page will perform the link and TRY to do the function, but the browser may not have time to complete it before the page hops. To get (d) as a result, you need to listen for the function to complete, and allow the default action of the click to proceed.<script>
function clicker() {
alert('Clicked!');
return true;
}
</script>

<a href="page.htm" onClick="return clicker();">link</a>
