All HTML documents must start with a <! DOCTYPE> declaration. The declaration is not an HTML tag. It is an "information" to the browser about what document type to expect.
https://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_doctype.asp
A doctype or document type declaration is an instruction which tells the web browser about the markup language in which the current page is written. The Doctype is not an element or tag, it lets the browser know about the version of or standard of HTML or any other markup language that is being used in the document.

First doctype is not tag or element . It is an information for browser about document type
https://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_doctype.asp
second there is little difference between "tag" and "element";

doctype is use to define document type like your html should be of version 4 or 5 or old version. So it can't have attribute.
According to 2nd post, question is saying that all tag can have attribute. See the question again here is "can have" it means not must have.

You have posted total 3 questions I will try to explain all step by step
1st question
https://www.sololearn.com/post/883177/?ref=app
Its asking about Which of the following can never contains attribute?
Not telling which of the following 'tag' can never contain attribute?
Ans- <!Doctype html> Bcz It is not a tag ; as said @all
All HTML documents must start with a <!DOCTYPE> declaration. The declaration is not an HTML tag.
It is an "information" to the browser about what document type to expect.
2nd question
https://www.sololearn.com/post/883208/?ref=app
Its asking all html element can have attribute
Ans- Yes ; All element 'can' have attribute
Now if u again confuse on <!doctype html> again i will say that Its not "element/tag" its 'info'
of document.So, there is no sense of confusing with it.
3rd question
https://www.sololearn.com/post/884229/?ref=app
Asking about which of those "tags" donot need to be closed
Ans- <br>,<hr>
<!doctype > shouldn't ticked ; its not a tag¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ;

Thank you for your answer
https://www.sololearn.com/post/884245/?ref=app
in this post Hope you understand the difference between the elements and tag and I think doctype is a tag because it's follow the rules of opening tag
elements are able to content tags but tags are not able to contact element
you said doctype is not a tag but this question saying doctype is a tag
