- True
- False
Correct Answer

A. False

Explanation

The domain of a website does not necessarily come at the beginning of the web address. The web address typically starts with a protocol (such as "http://" or "https://") followed by the domain name, which is usually located after the protocol and before any subdirectories or specific page addresses. Therefore, the statement that the domain comes at the beginning of the web address is false.

- Plagiarism

Explanation

Copyright is the correct answer because it is the law that protects people from having their work being used without permission. Copyright grants the creator of a work exclusive rights to reproduce, distribute, and display their work. It ensures that others cannot use or copy someone's work without their permission, providing legal protection for original works of authorship such as books, music, art, and software.
