URL stands for which of the following?

• A. Uniform Resource Locator
• B. Universal Resource Locator
• C. Uniform Resource Link
• D. Unique Resource Locator

Answer: (A)

URL is the address used to locate a resource on the web. It stands for Uniform Resource Locator, meaning there’s a standardized way to specify where a resource lives so software can find it. Uniform indicates consistency across the internet, Resource refers to anything accessible online (web pages, images, files), and Locator means this string points to the resource’s location. For example, https://www.example.com/path/file.html shows the protocol, the domain, and the path to the resource. The other options don’t match the established term: Universal isn’t the standard word used here, Link isn’t the formal term, and Unique isn’t part of the acronym.
