Multiple Choice

Which of the following is an example of a web browser?

A web browser is software you use to view pages on the internet. It retrieves pages from servers, renders the content so you can read text, see images, and run interactive features, and it lets you navigate with links, bookmarks, and tabs. Safari fits this role as a primary browser that you install and use to access websites. Dogpile is a metasearch engine that gathers results from multiple search engines rather than displaying web pages itself in the way a browser does. Google and Bing are search engines that help you find websites by returning lists of results, but they aren’t standalone programs for viewing web pages. They’re accessed through a browser to actually open and read the pages.
