19,924 PointsThere is no correct answer for this question.
This is not a question but meant as a hint for all people stucking in the quiz "Advanced Backgrounds" of the stage "Backgrounds and Borders" in the "CSS Foundations" course.
For the question What is the function of the "background-clip" property? the correct answer is It determines whether the background position is relative to the border, padding or content area of the element.. This would be the correct answer for the background-origin property but not for the background-clip property.
I'm going to inform the Treehouse team about this issue and hope that they'll fix this soon.
~ Cheers

19,924 PointsAs I wrote above I know that that answer works perfectly. The problem with that answer is that it isn't correct! :D

Lucas Krause
19,924 PointsBecause the answer matches the function of the background-origin property (w3schools) not of the background-clip property.

19,924 PointsIf you are reading any of the linked articles carefully you actually must discover that the answer describes background-origin instead of background-clip.
A suitable answer describing background-clip would be It clips the background to the specified area of the element..

19,924 PointsSure it works but the answer isn't correct. The answer is describing the
background-originproperty. None of the available answers describes thebackground-clipproperty. ;)
