UGC NET Questions (Paper – 1)

Statements A, B and D properly describe the role and implications of AUPs, whereas C is incorrect. Policies must be accompanied by ongoing education so that users understand why rules exist and how to act responsibly online. AUPs typically cover security, privacy and legal issues, and violations can attract sanctions. Thus, the correct combination is A, B and D only.

Option A:
Option A is incomplete because it lists only A and B and omits D. While defining policies and their scope is important, recognising potential consequences provides a fuller understanding of why compliance matters.

Option B:
Option B is incorrect because it treats A, B and C as correct statements and thereby accepts C. Statement C ignores the need for continuous awareness-building about ethics and digital citizenship, so including it makes this option wrong.

Option C:
Option C is correct because it selects the three true statements and explicitly excludes C, which minimises the importance of user education. It shows that policy documents and educational initiatives must work together.

Option D:
Option D is incorrect because it groups B, C and D as correct, accepting C and omitting A. Leaving out the basic definition of AUP and including a false statement undermines the answer.
