What does the term 'bot' stand for?

• A. Web Robot
• B. Web Operation Tool
• C. Web Oriented Terminal
• D. Web Orchestrator

Answer: (A)

A bot is a software robot that performs tasks automatically. In computing and on the web, the word is a shortened form of “robot,” used to describe programs that act autonomously to carry out repetitive or data-gathering tasks, fetch information, or interact with users. When people say a web bot, they’re usually talking about a program that crawls websites, collects data, or automates online actions. The other phrases don’t fit common usage: they don’t reflect the idea of an autonomous software agent, whereas a “web robot” captures the intended sense of automated, agent-like behavior on the internet.
