What is wrong with the following code? body{ color: #000000; background-color:#FFFFFF font-family: Times, Arial, Cursive; }

The issue with the provided code lies in the syntax for the CSS properties. In CSS, each property-value pair within a rule must be separated by a semicolon. In the given code, the background-color property is missing the required semicolon before the font-family property. This omission prevents the CSS from being parsed correctly, which can lead to the rule not applying as expected or causing a cascade of errors in subsequent styles.

The inclusion of a semicolon after the background-color property would fix the syntax error, ensuring all properties are properly recognized by the browser.
