It's look like document.getElementById is called before the browser finish to render the page.
You will need to run the code that go to the DOM just after the browser is ready.
The problem is that the variable questionEl is defined as const; because you are trying to change the content of the variable questionEl inside the loadQuiz() method. Define the questionEl variable using the let or var keywords.
const quizData = [
{
question: "What is the most used programming language in 2019?",
a: "Java",
b: "C",
c: "Python",
d: "JavaScript",
correct: "d",
},
];
/* The questionEl variable is defined using the "let" keyword. */
let questionEl = document.getElementById('question')
const a_text = document.getElementById('a_text')
const b_text = document.getElementById('b_text')
const c_text = document.getElementById('c_text')
const d_text = document.getElementById('d_text')
const submitBtn = document.getElementById('submit')
let currentQuiz = 0;
function loadQuiz() {
const currentQuizData = quizData[currentQuiz]
questionEl.innerHTML = currentQuizData.question
a_text.innerHTML = currentQuizData.a
b_text.innerHTML = currentQuizData.b
c_text.innerHTML = currentQuizData.c
d_text.innerHTML = currentQuizData.d
currentQuiz++;
