Jesse purchases a new smartphone and is immediately able to use it to send a photo over the Internet to a friend who lives in a different country. Which of the following is NOT necessary to make this possible?

Question

A. Both devices are using the same shared and open protocols
B. A single direct connection is established between any two devices connected to the Internet
C. The data of the image is routed through a sequence of directly connected devices before arriving at its destination.
D. Both devices are directly connected to at least one part of the Internet

Answer 1

The statement that is NOT necessary to make the action of sending a photo over the Internet possible is:

B. A single direct connection is established between any two devices connected to the Internet.

In reality, devices on the Internet often communicate through a series of intermediary devices (like routers) rather than a single direct connection. Thus, option B does not accurately reflect how Internet communication typically works.
