Answer to Question 1

C

Answer to Question 2

Companies use intelligent agents, also known as bots, to extract useful business intelligence from publicly accessible websites. These intelligent agents are sent out to conduct a mission and collect data from web pages on behalf of a user. With the help of the robot-building software, the operator can design an agent to interact with any number of websites, recording all the steps a human performs. Intelligent agents are useful for many tasks and are growing smarter and more capable each year. Search engines use them to classify and index web pages, and infomediaries deploy them to retrieve current product prices from different vendors.
