Answer 1

The correct option is B $\text{Portable Document Format}$

$\text{PDF}$ stands for $\text{Portable Document Format}$. Essentially, the format is used when we need to save files that cannot be modified but still need to be easily shared and printed. Today almost everyone has a version of Adobe Reader or other program on their computer that can read a PDF file. Documents that are portable-document formatted, end with "$\text{.pdf}$". extension. E.g. a document named $\text{variable\_names.pdf}$ indicates that it is a PDF document with the name $\text{variable\_names}$.
