Which software is used to view internet pages?

Correct answer: Web browser

Direct answer: Option A, web browser. A web browser is application software that receives, displays and helps navigate web pages on the internet. When a user enters a web address or selects a link, the browser requests the page and shows its text, pictures and other content. Therefore Option A is correct. Option B, speaker, is hardware that produces sound; it does not open or display internet pages. Option C, scanner, is input hardware that copies printed material or images into a computer; it is not used to view websites. Option D, power supply, provides electrical power to the computer and is not a page-viewing program. Remember the difference: software gives instructions, while hardware is a physical part. A browser is software, even though it works through physical devices such as the screen, keyboard and network equipment. Examples include Chrome, Firefox, Edge and Safari. Exam cue: “browse the web” means use a web browser.
