URL stands for what?

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

Answer: (A)

A URL is a standardized way to point to a resource on a network and specify how to retrieve it. Uniform means the format is consistent across all resources, Resource refers to any item you can access on the web (such as a web page, image, or file), and Locator indicates that the string tells you where to find that resource. This is the official term, so URL stands for Uniform Resource Locator. The other options use different words like Link, List, or Unique and do not reflect the established name or meaning. When you look at a URL, you’re typically seeing components that tell you the access method (the scheme), where the resource is hosted (the domain), and where to locate the specific resource (the path).
