The correct answer is TELNET.

Key Points

• TELNET is a protocol used on the Internet or local area networks to provide a bidirectional interactive text-oriented communication facility using a virtual terminal connection.
• It was one of the first Internet standards developed and is used for remote login and command execution.
• TELNET operates on the client-server model and typically uses port 23.

The correct answer is E-commerce

• Electronic commerce or e-commerce (sometimes written as eCommerce) is a business model that lets firms and individuals buy and sell things over the internet. E-commerce operates in all four of the following major market segments:
  • Business to business
  • Business to consumer
  • Consumer to consumer
  • Consumer to business

Key Points

• E-commerce, which can be conducted over computers, tablets, or smartphones may be thought of like a digital version of mail-order catalog shopping. Nearly every imaginable product and service is available through e-commerce transactions, including books, music, plane tickets, and financial services such as stock investing and online banking. As such, it is considered a very disruptive technology. 
•  E-commerce offers consumers the following advantages:
  • Convenience. E-commerce can occur 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
  • Increased selection. Many stores offer a wider array of products online than they carry in their brick-and-mortar counterparts. And many stores that solely exist online may offer consumers exclusive inventory that is unavailable elsewhere.
• E-commerce carries the following disadvantages:
  • Limited customer service. If you are shopping online for a computer, you cannot simply ask an employee to demonstrate a particular model's features in person. And although some websites let you chat online with a staff member, this is not a typical practice.
  • Lack of instant gratification. When you buy an item online, you must wait for it to be shipped to your home or office. However, retailers like Amazon make the waiting game a little bit less painful by offering same-day delivery as a premium option for select products.
  • Inability to touch products. Online images do not necessarily convey the whole story about an item, and so e-commerce purchases can be unsatisfying when the products received do not match consumer expectations. Case in point: an item of clothing may be made from shoddier fabric than its online image indicates.

The correct answer is Virtual Private Network.

Key Points

• A Virtual Private Network (VPN) creates a secure tunnel between your device and a remote server operated by the VPN provider.

• When the user activates the link (e.g., by clicking on it with the mouse) the browser displays the link's target. If the target is not an HTML file, depending on the file type and on the browser and its plugins, another program may be activated to open the file.

Additional Information

• URL: The URL stands for Uniform Resource Locator.  A URL is used for determining the address of a given distinctive resource online. In theory, every valid universal resource locator points to a novel resource. Such resources may be a Hypertext Markup Language page, a CSS document, an image, etc.

Once a user requests a web page from a selected website, the browser retrieves its files from the Internet by using the web server and displays the page on the user's screen. Browsers are used on a spread of devices, together with desktops, laptops, tablets, and smartphones. Google Chrome, Safari and Firefox are examples of web browsers.
