UGC NET Questions (Paper – 1)

Statements A, B, C, D and E correctly summarise the relationship between the Internet and the web, as well as tools and protocols. The web runs over the Internet, browsers access pages using URLs and HTTP/HTTPS, and search engines index content to support retrieval. Statement F is false because the Internet is a distributed network of many interconnected devices, not a single central computer. Therefore the true set consists of A, B, C, D and E only.

Option A:
Option A is correct because it includes all accurate statements about how the web operates over the Internet and how users access resources. It excludes the central-computer misconception in F, which contradicts the distributed nature of the Internet.

Option B:
Option B is incorrect because it omits E, thereby ignoring the important role of search engines in helping users navigate the vast web content. While A, B, C and D are true, the set does not contain all correct statements.

Option C:
Option C is incorrect because it adds F, which misrepresents the Internet architecture by treating it as a single machine. Mixing a false statement with true ones means this combination cannot be accepted.

Option D:
Option D is incorrect because it leaves out A and therefore does not explicitly describe what the World Wide Web is. Although B, C, D and E are correct, omitting A makes the description incomplete.

Statements A, B, C and E correctly describe browser features and basic security measures, whereas D and F are unsafe. Bookmarking and history support easy navigation, while pop-up blockers and HTTPS improve security and privacy. Clicking unknown links carelessly can expose users to phishing or malware, and ignoring browser updates can leave known vulnerabilities unpatched. Thus the combination A, B, C and E only is correct.

Option A:
Option A is incorrect because it includes F, which wrongly suggests browser updates can be ignored, and it omits B, which describes browsing history. Therefore the set is incomplete and contains an unsafe statement.

Option B:
Option B is incorrect because it introduces F, which suggests that browser updates can be ignored. Updates often contain security fixes, so including F makes this option inaccurate even though other statements are true.

Option C:
Option C is incorrect because it leaves out A and adds F. Omitting bookmarks removes a basic feature, and accepting F encourages unsafe behaviour regarding updates, so this option cannot be accepted.

Option D:
Option D is correct because it includes all true statements about browsing features and security while excluding D and F, which promote risky habits. It offers a balanced view of convenient and safe browser use.
