Answer 1

Answer:

C. Web browser

The web browser acts as the essential interface between you and the World Wide Web. Its primary functions are:

• Retrieving: It sends requests (using protocols like HTTP/HTTPS) to web servers to fetch documents and files (like HTML, CSS, images, and videos) based on the address (URL) you enter.

• Rendering (Viewing): It interprets the code (HTML, CSS, JavaScript) it receives and translates it into the formatted, visual, and interactive webpage you see on your screen.

Common examples of web browsers include: Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, and Microsoft Edge.
