A1 and 2 only

B3 and 4 only ✓ Correct

C2 and 3 only

D1 and 4 only

Correct answer: (B) 3 and 4 only

Explanation

The correct statements are that Tim Berners-Lee created the World Wide Web and that Mosaic was the first widely used web browser.

Statement 3 is true because Tim Berners-Lee invented the web at CERN around 1989.

Statement 4 is true because Mosaic made web browsing popular in the early 1990s with its easy graphical view.

Statement 1 is false, since a web server actually stores and delivers pages rather than being used to view them.

Statement 2 is false, since a web browser is the software used to view pages, not the system that hosts files.

In short, the browser requests and displays pages while the server stores and sends them.
