Search engine usage – UGC NET Question

Statement C is the only wrong statement because modern search engines do not order results simply by alphabetical order of site names. They use complex ranking algorithms based on relevance, content and many other factors. Statements A, B and D correctly describe crawling, phrase searching and advanced filtering capabilities. Hence, the correct option is the one that chooses only statement C as wrong.

Option A:
Option A is incorrect because it groups A and C as wrong statements. Statement A is true since crawlers or spiders are indeed used for indexing pages. Labeling this as wrong contradicts how search engines build their indexes.

Option B:
Option B is correct because it isolates C as the sole wrong statement. It accepts that quotation marks can enforce phrase matching and that advanced search options enable filtering. Recognising C as the only incorrect claim aligns with actual search engine behaviour.

Option C:
Option C is incorrect because it combines A, B and C as wrong statements. Both A and B are accurate descriptions of search engine features, and only C is false. By including true statements in the wrong set, this combination fails.

Option D:
Option D is incorrect because it lists B, C and D as wrong, even though B and D are correct. Phrase searching and advanced search filters are standard features of modern search engines. Mixing correct statements with a wrong one makes the option invalid.
