DNone of the above

Correct answer: (C) Application software for accessing and viewing web pages

Explanation

A browser is application software that requests, fetches and displays web pages for the user.

HTML is the markup language that structures pages, not the program that views them.

A server stores and delivers pages, playing the opposite role to the client browser.

There is no clear alternative here because a plain description of a browser is present among the choices.

The browser renders HTML, runs scripts and follows hyperlinks a user clicks.

Common browsers include Chrome, Firefox, Edge and Safari.
