Which of the following is a search engine?
AMacromedia Flash
BGoogle ✓ Correct
CNetscape
DLibrarians' Index to the Internet
Correct answer: (B) Google
Explanation
Google crawls and indexes billions of web pages and returns ranked results to a typed query.
Macromedia Flash was multimedia authoring software for animations and interactive content, not a way to find pages.
Netscape Navigator was an early web browser that displayed pages rather than searching for them.
Librarians' Index to the Internet was a curated subject directory of hand-picked sites, not an automated crawler.
A search engine differs from a directory by building its index automatically with software robots.
Google began in 1998 and its PageRank algorithm ranks pages by the links pointing to them.
