To determine the correct answer, let's go through each option and explain the characteristics of an instant message:

a. It's more structured: This is actually a characteristic of an instant message. Instant messages usually have a more informal and conversational structure, often using shorthand and abbreviations.

b. It contains abbreviations: This is a characteristic of an instant message. Abbreviations are commonly used in instant messaging to save time and typing effort.

c. Occurs between PCs: This is also a characteristic of an instant message. Instant messages are typically sent between personal computers or other devices capable of running instant messaging software.

Based on analyzing the options and their corresponding characteristics, we can conclude that the correct answer is not (a) "it's more structured," as this is one of the characteristics of an instant message. Therefore, your answer of (b) is correct.
