b. is an establishment of the nature of an electronic agent.
c. bans electronic agents for business transactions.
d. legitimizes the use of electronic agents.

Answer 1

The Uniform Electronic Transactions Act (UETA) legitimizes the use of electronic agents in business transactions by providing legal recognition to electronic signatures and records.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Uniform Electronic Transactions Act (UETA) is a law that was established to grant legal recognition to electronic signatures and records if both parties to a transaction agree to use electronic documents and to conduct business electronically. Specifically, the UETA legitimizes the use of electronic agents in business transactions.


An electronic agent is defined under UETA as a computer program or an electronic or other automated means used independently to initiate an action or respond to electronic records or performances in whole or in part, without review or action by an individual. Therefore, option d is correct; the UETA legitimizes the use of electronic agents.
