What does URL stand for?

• A. Uniform Resource Locator
• B. Universal Resource Locator
• C. Uniform Resource Link
• D. Uniform Resource Address

Answer: (A)

URL stands for Uniform Resource Locator. This acronym reflects a standardized way to pinpoint a resource on the Internet. "Uniform" signals a consistent format, "Resource" is the item you want to reach (such as a webpage, image, or file), and "Locator" emphasizes that the URL provides the means to locate that resource, typically including the protocol (like http or https), the domain, and the path. The other options don’t fit because they modify the final word differently—Universal isn’t the established term, Link points to a different concept (a hyperlink) rather than the official acronym, and Address uses a different final term than Locator.
