What filename should you always save your main web page as?
- A.
Homepage.htm
- B.
Main.htm
- C.
Index.htm
- D.
Home.htm
Correct Answer
C. Index.htmExplanation
The recommended filename for the main web page is "index.htm". This is because "index" is a commonly used default name for the main page of a website. When a visitor enters a website's domain name without specifying a specific page, the server will typically look for a file named "index" to display as the default page. Therefore, using "index.htm" as the filename ensures that the main page is easily accessible and displayed as the default when visitors access the website.Rate this question:

- A.
Router.
- B.
Firewall.
- C.
Web proxy.
- D.
Motherboard.
Correct Answer
A. Router.Explanation
A hardware device that works as a 'traffic cop' and directs signals to other computers is known as a router. A router is responsible for directing network traffic between different devices on a network. It analyzes the destination address of incoming data packets and determines the most efficient path for the data to reach its destination. Unlike a firewall, which is designed to protect a network from unauthorized access, a router primarily focuses on routing network traffic. A web proxy, on the other hand, is a server that acts as an intermediary between clients and web servers, handling requests on behalf of the clients. A motherboard, while an essential component of a computer, does not perform the specific function of directing signals to other computers.Rate this question:
