Which statement should a developer add to the dragOver function to allow the image to be dragged and dropped onto the section element?

To allow the image to be dragged and dropped onto a section element, the developer should use the statement that calls for the prevention of the default handling of the event. When dragging and dropping, the browser typically has its own default behavior that can prevent the drop from occurring correctly. By using event.preventDefault(), the developer informs the browser that they want to override the default action for the dragover event. This is essential for enabling a custom drop functionality, as the default behavior often includes preventing any drop action in certain contexts unless explicitly allowed.

In the context of implementing drag and drop, it is important to ensure that when the dragover event is firing, the default action is suppressed. Without doing this, the browser will not allow the drop, and the desired functionality will not work. This makes it clear that event.preventDefault() is the correct approach in this scenario.
