Which of the following best describes the concept of Do Not Track in online privacy?

  1. A method for hiding user browsing history

  2. Blocking advertisements on websites

  3. A feature aimed at preventing behavioral tracking by websites

  4. Enhancing search engine optimization

The correct answer is: A feature aimed at preventing behavioral tracking by websites

Do Not Track is not a method for hiding browsing history (A) as this can still be tracked by websites and your Internet provider. It also does not block advertisements (B) but rather prevents behavioral tracking which is used to personalize ads. Enhancing search engine optimization (D) is a different concept altogether and not related to user privacy. Therefore, (C) best describes the concept of Do Not Track in online privacy.
