Question

a friend of munas suggested a website that she can use to download music. how should she check if the website is secure? a. a shield icon in the address bar b. \https\ as the protocol in the url c. the words \secure website\ in the home - page footer d. \.com\ or \.org\ as the top - level domain of the website

Explanation:

A shield icon in the address bar is a common visual indicator that a website is using HTTPS, which means it is secure. HTTPS encrypts data sent between the user's browser and the website server. While having ".com" or ".org" as a top - level domain doesn't guarantee security, and the words "secure website" in the footer can be added by anyone and are not a reliable indicator. The presence of "https" as the protocol in the URL is also an important sign, but the shield icon is a more direct visual cue for non - technical users.

Answer:

A. A shield icon in the address bar
