Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Concept
E-commerce covers commercial transactions and related services conducted through electronic networks. Typical applications include online financial services, electronic trading, and online marketplaces or auctions.
Application
House banking provides remote banking services; buying stocks executes a securities-market transaction; and conducting an auction brings buyers and sellers together through an electronic marketplace. Evaluating an employee belongs to human-resource performance management rather than an electronic commercial transaction.
Contrast
House banking: remote access to banking services and financial transactions.
Buying stocks: electronic execution of a securities trade.
Conducting an auction: network-based bidding between buyers and sellers.
Evaluating an employee: assessment of workplace performance against defined criteria.
Result
Therefore, evaluating an employee is not an e-commerce application.
