Correct answer: (C) The address of a document or page on the WWW

Explanation

A URL is the unique web address that locates a specific document or page on the World Wide Web.

A computer software program is a set of instructions, which describes applications rather than an address.

A UFO has nothing to do with computing and is a distractor with no technical meaning here.

There is no acronym for unlimited resources for learning; URL actually stands for Uniform Resource Locator.

A typical URL combines a protocol, a domain name and a path to the resource.

URLs were introduced by Tim Berners-Lee in the early 1990s as part of the Web.
