The primary difference between an HTML opening tag and a closing tag is that the closing tag uses a forward slash. Here's a more detailed explanation:
1. **Opening Tag**: This marks the beginning of an HTML element. It is written with the element's name enclosed in angle brackets, such as `<p>` for a paragraph.
2. **Closing Tag**: This indicates the end of an HTML element. It is similar to the opening tag but includes a forward slash before the element's name, such as `</p>` for closing the paragraph.
So, the correct choice from your options is: **The closing tag uses a forward slash.**
The other options are incorrect:
- Opening tags are not conventionally capitalized or bolded.
- Opening tags do not use a forward slash.
