Search engines is the specialized programs that assist users in locating information on the web. The Option A is correct.

Basically, search engines are specialized programs designed to assist users in locating information on the web. They work by indexing vast amounts of web content and then providing users with the ability to search for specific information using keywords or phrases.

When a user enters a search query, the search engine's algorithms analyze their query and return a list of relevant web pages ranked by their perceived relevance to the query.

Popular search engines include G/oogle, Bin/g, Ya/hoo which have become indispensable tools for navigating and accessing information on the internet.
