Online commerce refers to what?

• A. The buying and selling of goods and services over the Internet
• B. Only in-store purchases
• C. Only bank transfers
• D. Physical mail orders

Answer: (A)

Online commerce is about buying and selling goods or services over the Internet. It involves shopping on websites or apps, selecting items, paying electronically, and having the product or service delivered or accessed online. This is different from in-store purchases, which happen in a physical location, or from bank transfers alone, which are just one part of a payment method rather than the whole online trading process. Physical mail orders, done without the Internet, don’t fit the online nature of the term. So the best understanding is that online commerce encompasses conducting trade through the Internet.
