Provides a means to identify a resource. It is a global identifier for Internet resources accessed remotely or locally.

• A. Uniform Resource Identifier (URI)
• B. URL
• C. IP Address
• D. Domain Name System

Answer: (A)

A universal resource identifier that can name or locate a resource is what this item is about. A URI is a global string used to identify a resource, whether by its name or its location, and it covers both remote and local access through different schemes like http, https, or file. This breadth means it includes resources found on the web as well as local files referenced on a device, making it the broader concept that fits the description. A URL is a specific type of URI that provides the actual location to fetch a resource, so it’s narrower in scope. An IP address identifies a host, not a resource itself, and DNS maps names to addresses but doesn’t identify the resource directly. So the best answer is URI.
