In SAS which ODS destination is open by default

There is a question in SAS Base Certification book as below:

If ODS is set to its default settings, what types of output are created by:
          ods html file='c:\myhtml.htm';
          ods pdf file='c:\mypdf.pdf';
a. HTML and PDF
b. PDF only
c. HTML, PDF, and listing
d. No output is created because ODS is closed by default.

Its answer is 'c', as it mentions that listing is enabled by default. My query here is that is listing or html enabled by default? In the university edition I find HTML as default. Can someone please clarify?

There's an error in the answer key, HTML has been the default installation setting for the last several versions (9.3+) but you can also change that. Seems like a bad question, IMO.

See the update guide, last entry here:

The correct answer should be "a. HTML and PDF." The explanation is correct.
