Question

What is the name for a webpage address?

This question was previously asked in
UGC NET 2016 Paper 2 Management Question Paper (22-Jan-2017)
The correct answer is

URL

To understand the solution to this question, let's examine the term "webpage address."

The term "URL" stands for Uniform Resource Locator, which is the address used to access a webpage on the internet. It specifies the location of a resource and the protocol used to access it (such as HTTP or HTTPS). Each webpage on the internet has a unique URL, which allows users to access it directly.

Let's look at why the other options are not correct:

  • Domain: A domain refers to the name of a website, such as "example.com." While a domain is part of a URL, it does not refer to the full webpage address.
  • Directory: A directory is a part of a website structure used to organize content, like folders within a website. It is not the full address of a webpage.
  • Protocol: A protocol is a set of rules for transferring data over the internet, such as HTTP or HTTPS. It is a component of a URL but does not represent the complete webpage address.

Thus, the correct answer is: URL.

In summary, a URL is the complete address used to locate a webpage on the internet, which includes the protocol, domain, and path to the resource.
