The placeholder attribute specifies a short hint that describes the expected value of an input field (e.g. a sample value or a short description of the expected format).
The short hint is displayed in the input field before the user enters a value.

The question said: "When a user selects the input control, the text must disappear." placeholder doesn't make the text disappear when you select the control, but only when you start typing in the field. So the question should have said "when you start typing in the field" (and the placeholder text will re-appear when you delete and empty the contents of the field)
