CThe part of the internet that enables information sharing through interconnected pages ✓ Correct

DAnother name for the internet

Correct answer: (C) The part of the internet that enables information sharing through interconnected pages

Explanation

The World Wide Web is the part of the internet that shares information through interconnected pages linked by hypertext.

A computer game is entertainment software and not what the web is.

A software program is too narrow, since the web is a vast system of linked documents and services.

Calling it another name for the internet is wrong, as the web is only one service running on the internet.

Web pages are reached with browsers using URLs and the HTTP protocol.

The internet is the underlying network, while the web is the document layer built on top.
