The one you tell it to use at the top of your HTML file, as in
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML3.2//EN"> (or whatever).  Lynx's
default interpretation might not match yours if you don't give it a DTD
spec.  Didn't any of these HTML verifiers call you on that?  Check out the
one at validator.w3.org if you haven't already.
