Is a web app an application that you access instead of a web browser?

• A. Yes
• B. No
• C. Sometimes
• D. Rarely

Answer: (B)

A web app is not accessed instead of a web browser; rather, it is accessed through a web browser. Web applications run on a web server and are delivered to users via the internet. When you enter a URL into your browser or click on a web app's link, the browser interprets the web app's code (typically written in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript) and displays it for user interaction. This makes web apps platform-independent, as they function across different operating systems as long as there is a compatible web browser available.

To clarify, while you use a web browser to access web apps, they are fundamentally distinct from traditional desktop applications, which may run independently of a browser. Options suggesting that a web app replaces or stands alone from a web browser misrepresent their relationship.
