thanks ms sue the answer is B
Right. B is the answer.
thanks ms sue :)
The correct answer is not option (d) "probeware." Please consider the other options.
To determine the correct answer to this question, let's go through each possible option:
a) "Timeshare": Timeshare refers to a system where multiple individuals share ownership and usage rights of a property, such as a vacation home. This term is not applicable to software programs.
b) "Public domain": Public domain refers to works that are not protected by copyright law, either because the copyright has expired or the creator has willingly put it into the public domain. Although "public domain" relates to the world of copyright, it does not directly address the concept of software programs that allow legal file copying.
c) "Shareware": Shareware is the correct answer. Shareware is a type of software that is distributed for free, allowing users to freely copy and share it. However, while shareware is initially provided for free, the creators often request voluntary payment or ask for users to purchase a license if they find it useful.
So, the correct answer is (c) "Shareware."
