  2. B. URL (Correct answer)
  3. C. HOST
  4. D. IP Address

Detailed Solution & Explanation

The correct answer is URL.

Key Points

  • A URL (Uniform Resource Locator) is a web address that uniquely identifies a specific resource (webpage, file, image, video) on the internet.
  • It specifies the protocol (http/https), domain name, and path to the resource (e.g., https://www.example.com/page/article).
  • A DNS (Domain Name System) translates domain names into IP addresses; a HOST is a computer on a network; an IP address identifies a device on a network -- but only a URL specifically and uniquely identifies an object/resource accessible over the internet.
