A company sends online forms for market surveys. This is an example of what?

Correct answer: Digital information collection

The direct answer is option B: digital information collection. An online form is an electronic questionnaire. When a company sends it for a market survey, customers or respondents enter answers digitally, and the company receives and stores data electronically. Therefore the example describes digital information collection, often used to understand preferences, satisfaction, or demand. Option A, public opinion control, means deliberately influencing what people think; merely collecting survey responses does not prove control. Option B is correct because the stated activity is gathering information through an online medium. Option C, legal penalty, is a punishment imposed under law, and nothing here mentions a violation or punishment. Option D, festival discount, is a temporary price reduction during a festival, which is unrelated to an online survey. The technological point is the digital method used to collect market data, not the purpose of punishing or persuading people. Memory cue: online forms, apps, websites, and electronic questionnaires usually indicate digital data collection.
