Browsers like Chrome and Firefox run on user devices and interpret HTML and other web content for display. Search engines like Google run on remote servers, index vast numbers of pages and return lists of matching sites when users type keywords. Users typically open a browser first and then access a search engine website through it. This explanation correctly differentiates the two tools.
Option A:
This option matches ICT literacy expectations by separating the function of viewing content from the function of finding it. It shows that the tools complement each other but are not interchangeable.
Option B:
Treating a search engine as hardware and a browser as a printed document confuses software with physical artefacts. Neither tool fits these descriptions.
Option C:
Limiting browsers to SMS and search engines to file saving assigns functionalities they do not have. SMS uses different systems, and file saving is done by operating systems and applications.
Option D:
Saying that both terms always have the same meaning erases a practical distinction that users experience daily when navigating the Web.
