Which term is directly associated with readiness to use online resources?

• A. Using a search engine
• B. Tarrant County College
• C. Online Skills Indicator
• D. Online Readiness

Answer: (D)

Being prepared to use online resources is described by online readiness. It means having the skills, confidence, and access to effectively find, evaluate, and work with information online, plus the ability to navigate digital tools and stay safe online. That makes it the best choice because it directly names the state of being ready for online work. Using a search engine is a specific tool you might use once online, but it’s a skill, not the overall readiness itself. An institution’s name or a separate indicator could relate to the context, but they don’t define the readiness state—the term online readiness does.
