Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Correct answer: Digital Versatile Disc
Background: The format was commonly marketed early on as Digital Video Disc, but because the disc was used for video, audio and general data storage, the name was standardized as Digital Versatile Disc to reflect its broader uses.
Why the change: "Versatile" emphasizes that the disc stores more than just video—audio and other digital data as well.
Practical note: Many people still refer to DVDs as "Digital Video Discs" out of habit, but the accepted official name is Digital Versatile Disc.
