When encountering an error due to multiple similar elements on a web page with the same name, it's crucial to use an attribute that ensures a unique match.
* Match Index (Option D): This attribute is specifically designed to handle situations where multiple elements have similar properties. By setting the Match Index, you can specify which instance of the element should be used, ensuring a unique match.
The other options are less effective in this scenario:
* Web Text (Option A): This may not be unique if multiple elements have the same text.
* Ordinal (Option B): While it indicates the order, it's less precise compared to Match Index.
* Web Element Type (Option C): This doesn't help in distinguishing between multiple similar elements.
